Ahh, my mistake; I was leaning towards 'S'

If I remember correctly from your phpinfo output, variables_order was set
only to GPC.  Give GPCS a shot, which may at least get a bit closer to
resolving why $_SERVER is empty.

Don't we all  :)

But it may be worth pushing for it a bit; older PHP on Windows (especially
under IIS) is typically a Bad Thing from what I hear, but as you mentioned,
IIS is uncharted terroritory for me as well.
