Register Globals is off because it prevents security issues with your code. There is an example on the PHP Manual that shows how can anyone access into a membership-based site if it works with Register Globals on. No one would need to use a form, for example, because typing the correct variables on the URL, you could enter the site, or even see other people's accounts (they are stored in the browser's memory). Besides that, it's a good programming habit to write $_GET or $_POST instead of just the variable name. Bye!

I just found it there: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.using.php#faq.using.variables Why register_globals is now OFF by default? I put it ON until I change my variable. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
