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? Ta Petre -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
