When I call phpinfo(); to get a read out of all the Apache variables, the HTTP\_ACCEPT variable supposedly holds all my HTTP Accept info like text/html, etc., but when I use the $HTTP\_ACCEPT in a program like this:

echo $HTTP\_ACCEPT;  
I just get _/_ as my accept type. Why? How can I get the complete list?
