The "related snippet" text has been broken for a while, it seems. Let's fix it.

Description:
------------
If I search for $_SERVER in the online documentation, which takes me to 
  http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=%24_SERVER&scope=quickref
then the two links at the top where it says 
  $_SERVER is a super global, and is home to many predefined variables ...
the links on "$_SERVER" and "super global" go to
  http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=reserved.variables.server.php&lang=en&scope=404quickref
which says
  "reserved.variables.server.php doesn't exist. Closest matches:..."
which doesn't make looking at the doc for $_SERVER easy!

I think $_SERVER should now link to 
  http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php
and superglobals to 
  http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.superglobals.php

I imagine, though I haven't tried, you might get similar failed links on searching for other superglobals.


Test script:
---------------
http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=%24_SERVER&scope=quickref
http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=reserved.variables.server.php&lang=en&scope=404quickref
