Well, you want to request something from the super globals context, but
you're not specifying that in your property_get command. If you use the
following it works:

property_get -i 225 -n $_SERVER -c 1 -p 1

Also beware that -m does not mean the number of elements, but the
"max_data_size" - the maximum length of a string that is returned.

I only tested this with the latest CVS version, however I don't think
anything changed since rc1 here.
