Re: converting scripts for register_globals=Off

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

 



What register_globals does (Please correct me if I'm wrong) is convert i.e. $_POST['variable_name'], $_GET['variable_name'] and so on to $variable_name. which isn't very good from my point of view.

I suggest you make sure you use $_GET['your_variable'] when ever you're fetching a GET variable, $_POST['var'] for all post variables and so on, instead of what you're doing now.
This works just fine with register_globals = On as well, so I always use it... to be safe..

if any of you could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it... I am an absolute beginner to php (2 weeks now) and dont know what I dont know...

I have written some scripts to access my online SQL db and I've tested the scripts on my machine with PHP 4.3.6 and register_globals = On
Now where I host my site, uses PHP 4.3.5 and has register_globals = Off which means of course, that my scripts arent working, but I dont know why....


My question is, how do I convert my scripts so that they will work please? I know that $id and $submit are two of the 'inputs' that it doesnt like, but I dont know the rest
