Cor,
If it's suggesting that it's an array, that's a little baffling, because
that means there are multiple entries (at least two), but they appear to
either be null or otherwise unable to display.
Did you get that result when running the script from the CLI or via the
web?

Thanks Daniel, Greg, Richard,
I made a script with:
<?php
print_r($_ENV);
?>
and it results only into: "Array ( )" nothing else ...
So it must be caused by a "different" environment ?
All I want is to check the $_ENV['OS'] within PHP scripts.
Regards, Cor

When I print_r($_ENV); from the CLI on 5.0.4 I get a bunch of results,
no problem.... but no $_ENV['OS'] variable. Further, when I check my
phpinfo(); output, there are even fewer $_ENV variables printed than the CLI
offers.
I'm not certain about this, Cor, but my guess is that PHP 5.x.x may
have altered the default $_ENV output to hide some of this information ---
which is a good thing, in my opinion, because then you won't just have some
run-of-the-mill script kiddie checking out the details of a box for known
security holes.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily stop <? passthru('uname -a')."\n";
?> or checking the $_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATURE'] variable for the OS
information.... so perhaps this response is just one of those white-bread
responses. Something to chew on, but you really don't get anything from it.
