To protect yourself by keeping register_globals off but still have access to your GET and POST info, do the following: <snip> foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { $$key = $value; } // Now all the post vars are in their corresponding key names // You can do the same with $_GET vars </snip> Using the $$key assigns whatever $key is to a variable with that value, e.g. $key = "sid"; $value = "W1111"; So: $$key = $value; will make the following true: $sid == "W1111"; It's a pretty good way of re-doing pages that were written with register_globals=on to run with register_globals=off Gary Every Sr. UNIX Administrator Ingram Entertainment (615) 287-4876 "Pay It Forward" mailto:gary.every@ingramentertainment.com http://accessingram.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Thorsten Körner [mailto:thorstenkoerner@123tkshop.org] > Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 2:05 PM > To: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: Problems with formvalues by using Suse 8.2 > > > Hi > Am Donnerstag, 19.
