Hi
Always code using $_GET, $_POST etc - its more secure and better practice.
neat bit of code from the php site which converts older versions of php to
the new standard
if (!isset($_SERVER))
{
$_GET = &$HTTP_GET_VARS;
$_POST = &$HTTP_POST_VARS;
$_ENV = &$HTTP_ENV_VARS;
$_SERVER = &$HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
$_COOKIE = &$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
$_REQUEST = array_merge($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE);
$_FILES = &$HTTP_POST_FILES;
}
You will find an explanation on php.net at
http://uk.php.net/variables.predefined

Alain:
You can and, in my opinion, should start coding with the register variables
now. That way, when your isp come to their senses and set
register_globals=off, you'll have no changes remaining. If you happen to
miss one or two, they will be easy to find and fix in very little time.
Bon chance,
Doug
