RE: [PHP] Configuration problem i guess...

You can go into the php.ini and turn register globals on, but this is not very good practice in your code as then your browser can be duped with variables that weren't really posted by your form. The method you have used is quite correct, but you can use $_POST for simpler code.

I experienced a problem yesterday and i know now what was the problem but i want to know if there is any way to do this like the books tells u to do... check it out... i had a html with a login form and when i click submit it calls login.php with this code... <? $logintxt = $HTTP_POST_VARS['logintxt']; $passwdtxt= $HTTP_POST_VARS['passwdtxt']; if (!$logintxt || !$passwdtxt) { include('login.htm'); } else { echo " <html> <title>Updating</title> <body><center>Sistema em construção</center></body> </html> "; } ?> u need the two first lines to get the html variables passed to php... i was wondering if is any configuration to make in apache or php to avoid this problem? If is it possible to php get the html form variables directly without typing this two lines... $logintxt = $HTTP_POST_VARS['logintxt']; $passwdtxt= $HTTP_POST_VARS['passwdtxt'];~ Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
