From: brandonskypimenta at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Register globals removed in 5.4.0 Description: ------------ At http://php.net/manual/en/faq.using.php#faq.register-globals it says that register globals Test script: --------------- <Irrelevant> Expected result: ---------------- The code above demonstrates how register_globals creates a lot of variables. For years this type of coding has been frowned upon, and for years it's been disabled by default. Note that this deprecated feature was removed in 5.4.0. So although most web hosts disable register_globals, there are still outdated articles, tutorials, and books that require it to be on. Plan accordingly. Actual result: -------------- The code above demonstrates how register_globals creates a lot of variables. For years this type of coding has been frowned upon, and for years it's been disabled by default. Note that PHP will eventually remove this deprecated feature. So although most web hosts disable register_globals, there are still outdated articles, tutorials, and books that require it to be on.
