Re: php 3 to 4.3

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php Before PHP 4.2.0 the default value for register_globals was on. And, in PHP 3 it was always on. The PHP community is encouraging all to not rely on this directive as it's preferred to assume it's off and code accordingly. Jennifer Fountain wrote:

Has anyone had issues with their php scripts not working after upgrading php from 3 to 4.3? I have simple page that inserts data into mysql db. The scripts worked fine until after the upgrade. Below is one of my php scripts. When I hit submit, nothing is added to the db :( <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Add Record</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <?php // code that will be executed if the form has been submitted: if ($submit) {

    // connect to the database
   include 'pwinfo.php';

$db = MYSQL_CONNECT($host,$user,$password);

     mysql_select_db("DB", $db);
    $sql = "INSERT INTO DB (value1, value2) VALUES ('$value1', '$value2')";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);

print ("Thank you! Information entered.\n"); MYSQL_CLOSE($db); } else {

    // else show the form to submit new data:
