Description:
------------
On our embedded system, we only build the php-cgi version to save space, /usr/bin/php is php-cgi.

Note: This problem does not exist when calling php-cli via the command-line, only calling php-cgi via the command-line.

When upgrading from PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.5, there seems to be some optimization that keeps $argv from being seen by 'getopt' unless $_SERVER['argv'] is referenced in the script.  Interestingly $_SERVER['argv'] does not have to be executed to fix the behavior.

In the test script below, uncommenting "var_dump($_SERVER['argv']);" allows 'getopt' to work.


Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php -qnC
<?php
echo "PHP Version: ".phpversion()."\n";
echo "register_argc_argv=".ini_get('register_argc_argv')."\n";
var_dump($argv);
//var_dump($_SERVER['argv']);

$opts = getopt("abc:");
var_dump($opts);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
./test-argv-getopt.php -ab -c4
PHP Version: 5.5.21
register_argc_argv=1
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(22) "./test-argv-getopt.php"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "-ab"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "-c4"
}
array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["b"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["c"]=>
  string(1) "4"
}


Actual result:
--------------
./test-argv-getopt.php -ab -c4
PHP Version: 5.5.21
register_argc_argv=1
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(22) "./test-argv-getopt.php"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "-ab"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "-c4"
}
bool(false)
