I guess I really didn't understand that myself before either. So Richard, even though it's disabling data output, it still exists as an array?
The array ($_ENV) exists, it is just the population of it that has been disabled, thus it's empty. Just in the same way that doing a print_r($_GET) will always display an empty array even if the query string is totally blank, or print_r($_POST) does the same, even though you didn't post a thing to the script.
The super-globals I guess must just be created at run-time, and populated later on in the process, by which time the php.ini settings have been taken into account and stopped the action.
