Re: php-db globals turned off

How do most of you handle variables in next page after passing. For instance. What I have right now (very ugly) is: $email = $_POST['emal']; $first = $_POST['first']; $lastl = $_POST['last']; Then I work with $email, $first etc... I will have to do this for many, many variables which doesnt seem very efficient. I tried: foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) $key = $value; but that didnt work...but I can print them out.

This should be $$key = $value, but that's not the way to do it.

but even if this did work - this wouldnt handle the 2 sets of arrays I have.

If you really want to do this use http://php.net/extract but bear in mind that doing this is making having register_globals off fairly pointless since this is basically what register_globals does before your script is executed. If you're going to work with them off, work with them off. What's wrong with using the superglobals ($_POST, $_GET, etc) throughout your script? -- Stuart
