ID: 20549 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: somekool@mytradecenter.com Status: Won\'t fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Slackware Linux PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Meaning to say that it will most likely not be removed; atleast not before hell freezes. Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-22 10:50:03] derick@php.net no, most likely not. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-22 10:26:01] iliaa@php.net register_globals ini setting will probably be avaliable for a long time to come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-22 10:19:53] somekool@mytradecenter.com but it was already possible to do it. i dont know which version i used, but it worked fine. i think this could be customizable. again, even if PHP is secure by default, user could prefer to handle risk on their own. another little question, do you plan to remove register_globals option availability in future version ? if yes, we will start update our code now. i hope not. thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-22 05:35:30] derick@php.net That is not going to happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-21 22:09:43] somekool@mytradecenter.com yes i enabled register_globals but i would like my variables to be really global and usable in every scope, even in user defined function function foo() { echo $varX; } without specifying "global $varX;" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
