Description:
------------
$_ENV["OS"]
$_ENV["PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER"]
$_ENV["COMPUTERNAME"]

are empty on PHP 6 VC6 while the same code works fine on PHP 5,

while
$_ENV["SERVER_SIGNATURE"]
works on both PHP 5 and PHP 6.

On the other hand the missing values appear correctly in phpinfo()

Strange.

Sorry 
I wanted to say $_SERVER["SERVER_SIGNATURE"] works on both.

Note:
It seems that the current PHP 6 has not yet been tested on Windows.
All the bugs I found are related to filesystem or operation system.

ENV works just fine here. But there are changes about input encoding that have not been test at all. And all in all, the current status of php6 is not tested at all, unstable and needs heavy work to get to something usable (usable != stable).

I repeated the test on build from 22 sep 2009 and the result is the same

$_ENV["OS"]
$_ENV["PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER"]
$_ENV["COMPUTERNAME"]

are empty.

Even a 
print_r($_ENV)
shows:
Array ( )

This cannot be caused by input encoding because these variables have no special characters in them.

On PHP5 the same array has plenty content!

Hello

In version 22 sep 2009 it is even worse:
print_r($_FILES);

throws:
Failed to decode _FILES array

The last time I tested on PHP6 this did work.
Now its broken.
