Re: variables??

No, it is more secure. The problem with register_globals is that ALL variables become global - not just the ones you want to be. Example: if(something) $authorized = true; if($authorized){ ...do something requiring security... } A hacker could easily go to script.php?authorized=1, and gain access. If you only allow one variable in that ($_GET['var']), you will know that the variable is from an outside source, and can act accordingly. John W. Holmes wrote:

It is considered more secure to declare the variable explicitly. $var = $_GET["var"];

Ummm... that's the same result as having register_globals on (basically). You're not helping anything and it's certainly not any more "secure". ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals. Get your copy today. http://www.phparch.com/

I'm having a problem with form data being recognized by a php

script.

If I send information with a GET the variable data appears in

$GET[var]

but not $var. >
