Help Me Understand PHP5, register_globals=off, $HTTP_POST_VARS, and $_POST

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I've done some homework on my own by reading through PHP documentation and 
various articles; however, I am still a bit confused as to what is supported 
in PHP 5.0 when register_globals is set to off.

In PHP5.0, if the register_globals parameter is set to off (as it is by 
default), I know that we're supposed to use the $_POST super globals to 
access the post variables.  My question is, is the $HTTP_POST_VARS global 
still populated for backwards compatibility?  In other words, if I have an 
old script that has the following piece of code running on a PHP5.0 
environment with register_globals off (after submission of a form), would it 
still work as expected?

Function someFunction($variable) {
  global $HTTP_POST_VARS;

  return IsSet($HTTP_POST_VARS[$variable])

}

Thanks in advance for your help.
