Thanks Reini. I do not have 4.1.0 here.

I had in mind the comment in the php manual which says:
$_SERVER

"Variables  set by the web server or otherwise directly related to the
execution  environment  of  the  current  script. Analogous to the old
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS array (which is still available, but deprecated)."
