#23289 [Bgs]: variables from form doest not works

ID: 23289 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: alexeytarasov at mail dot primorye dot ru Status: Bogus Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Win2000/WinXP PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: As of PHP 4.2 the default value for register_globals is off. Either turn on register_globals or access form elements via the $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST arrays. ($HTTP_*_VARS in PHP 4.2) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-20 19:32:06] edink@php.net 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. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-20 19:28:17] alexeytarasov at mail dot primorye dot ru IIS 5 variables from form don't pass when I launch this code <? if (!@$name):?> <form name="form1" method="post" action="test.php"> Name<br> <input name="name" type="text" id="name"><br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </form> <? die; endif; echo "it works!"; ?> Message "it works!" never appears, because variable $name will never be defined, whatever I did. This problem appears in PHP 4.2 and PHP 4.3, but not in PHP 4.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23289&edit=1
