ID: 21699 Updated by: edink@php.net Reported By: phpbugreport@snowprods.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: XP Pro, SP1 PHP Version: 4.3.0 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 searched every corner of my dusty little web and can find nothing to indicate that this shouldn't work. Is this truly a bug or am I just missing something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21699&edit=1
