Re: variables_order annoyance

> Check out this bug report: > > http://bugs.php.net/16155 Ah thanks, that's where I remember the discussion from. I do disagree with one part: (c) It shouldn't be possible to prevent $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_FILES from being populated. Why in the world not? I explicitly need to be able to prevent $_COOKIE from being populated and showing up in $_REQUEST here at Yahoo because we have access functions that we want to force people to go through to fetch cookie data. I think we should just have a completely clean separation of variable ordering priority and superglobal array population. Before register_globals it made sense to just have one setting for this as you couldn't have one without the other, but today it doesn't make sense anymore. -Rasmus
