Re: Variables don't pass... *sniff*

Thank you! =) Okay, okay... Sorry to keep rambling on like this, but I just need to get this 100% straight: I read up on the predefined variables on php.net, and as you said, in older PHP versions, the $_GET equivalent was $HTTP_GET_VARS, and that did the same as $_GET. So, the RegisterGlobals boolean did exist in older versions too, but just now defaulted to false instead of true? Meaning, that my older scripts which used neither $HTTP_GET_VARS nor $_GET will infact fail on all versions where RegisterGlobals is false. Is that correct? So, to maintain absolute compatibility, I'll just have to check if either $_GET[aVar] or $HTTP_GET_VARS[aVar] is set and get the value from the existing one? Again, thanks for the help =) Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: Petre Agenbag To: daniel@rhesusb.dk Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 12:02 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Variables don't pass... *sniff* Sorry, I missunderstood your question about backwards compatible. YES, accessing your variables this way ($_POST[] etc), IS backwards compatibel, ie, they are placed in those arrays anyways, BUT, the method is not backwards compatible to older versions of PHP, there the arrays were called $HTTP_GET_VARS or something similarly unlike $_GET...
