Bug description

Hey.
Filling this issue for my students, as I'm not using herd-lite, or windows.

When following the php.new instructions and trying to start Laravel server through php artisan serve, we ended up to the issue:

To make it working, we had to edit the php.ini file, as explained in this comment:

- variables_order = "EGPCS"
+ variables_order = "GPCS"

I'm not familiar with this kind of thing, but would it be possible to set the correct value directly in the php.ini?

My brew mac php comes directly with variables_order = "GPCS" in the php.ini, and I've checked other windows installations (laragon, wamp) and it's the same.

Thanks,
Mathieu.
