Hi
Already posted a question asking what to do with existing code that uses register_globals=on and migrating to a new PHP with register_globals=off; solution seemed to be "have to re-code";
I came up with this code, and am basically asking the more enlightened if this might be a solution, ie, plug this code in at the top of all form action pages written with the "old style"... It's crude, so be nice.
....
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$type = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
} elseif (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
$type = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
}
foreach ($type as $key => $val) {
$string = "\$$key = \"$val\";";
eval($string);
}
....
If this will help, can it be written into a function? Is there a more "elegant" way of doing the same?Will this actually work?
