For example, $HTTP_POST_VARS, which became deprecated in PHP4, was dropped in PHP5. To convert a PHP4 script that uses this to PHP5 you can either do a global search and replace or else include $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST at the head of the script. BTW, $HTTP_POST_VARS isn't the only one - I'm just using it as an example here. Best practice also changed. For example, mysql_escape_string() became deprecated in PHP5 and in its place the manual advises use of mysql_real_escape_string().
