Re: Bug #1478: Variables passed to script

This already exists if php_track_vars is enabled (via compile-time configuration switch, run-time configuration setting in php3.ini or Apache configuration files, or by using the <?php_track_vars?> tag before the first PHP code block. This makes the arrays HTTP_GET_VARS, HTTP_POST_VARS, and HTTP_COOKIE_VARS available.
