I’ve just moved my site onto a new box and I’m having a real problem 
with $_REQUEST.  The variables_order  and request_order values are not being respected.

I need the cookies to take the lowest priority, so I put it first in the sequence. However, as the code below shows this is not happening. 
Changing variables_order and request_order does not make any difference.

Anyone got any ideas why?  I’ve not seen this before.

PHP.ini settings

variables_order = “CGPS”
request_order = “CGPS”

The position of the ‘C’ seems to make no difference at all, but if I
remove it then I get the expected response.

adoptions get array(1) {
  [“adoptdate”]=>  string(10) “2020-10-26”
}

adoptions post array(0) {
}

adoptions COOKIE
array(7) {
  [“login”]=>  string(1) “1”
  [“sesid”]=>  string(10) “1603798666”
  [“adoptdate”]=>  string(10) “2020-10-27”
}

adoptions REQUEST
array(7) {
  [“adoptdate”]=>  string(10) “2020-10-27”
  [“login”]=>  string(1) “1”
  [“sesid”]=>  string(10) “1603798666”
}
