Re: Code Advice

I just saw that post... I feel completely stupid at this point, might I point out. You're right - register_globals is by default 'on' on this particular server I"m working on (I don't do a lot of PHP work on it), cuz its an older version and I haven't been bothered enough to upgrade it... I haven't tested it on something that has register_globals set to on. So yes.. indeed my code did absolutely nothing. Who wants to hire me? hah. Thanks for all the help, though.. I definately learned a few things and got some decent code in return to fiddle with! Thanks to all, apologies for the brain-death. -Jason Ernest E Vogelsinger wrote:

register_globals is definately off.. Maybe its a PHP miracle, as Ernest suggested.. maybe Rasmus or someone else on the PHP dev team has something to say about it, but it works.. maybe you all could use it :-D

--------------------[snip]-------------------- Jason, as Chris already pointed out, this code doesn't do what you intend to do. You don't get an error because you do not access the variable name directly - at least not the variable your code generates (which is $0, $1, $2, etc). If you did you'd get a decent parser error - but unfortunately your data hides behind these identifiers. If register_globals is off I have absolutely no idea why you still have them available. Please recheck your testing code - I'm sure you'll notice the glitch...
