#19375 [Bgs]: Calling a php page from an html form

ID: 19375 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: Agostino.Calamita@italtel.it Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.

I have a simple html page with a form like this: <FORM NAME="myname" METHOD="POST" ACTION="test.php"> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="myfield" SIZE=20> <INPUT TYPE=submit> </FORM> and a simple php file (test.php) like this: <HTML> <BODY> <?php echo "Your field is: "; echo $myfield; ?> </BODY> </HTML> When I use the submit the form, PHP executes test.php and give my this page: Your field is: Notice: Undefined variable: myfield in C:\Xitami\webpages\test.php on line 5 If I unistall PHP 4.2.3 and install PHP 4.1.1, everything works fine and I got what I wrote inside myfield. I don't know if this is a bug or a security problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19375&edit=1
