#18452 [Com]: Superglobals appear to not work...

ID: 18452 Comment by: php@pwoods.fsnet.co.uk Reported By: dilbert@hack3r.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: OpenBSD PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: try using $HTTP_GET_VARS rather than $_GET... I am new to this so I might be wrong but the $_GET and $_POST etc seem deprecated in this version. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-22 19:54:18] dilbert@hack3r.com you just told me I was crazy ;) but okay, I fixed that problem (heh) this STILL isn't a bogus bug, however... Look at the example page i supplied above, .... echo "<br><hr>"; $h = "_GET"; print_r($$h); // Works! echo "<br><hr>"; function pr2() { $g = "_GET"; print_r($$g); } // DOESN'T WORK! pr2(); .... That part is still true. Comments and all. Now, thats the bug I was dealing with previously (before i screwed up and figured all superglobals didn't work :/) I knew I messed something up, at least I've finally got this refined... Am I missing something again, or have I finally nailed it?
