hi, all,
I have a piece of code stuck at the point of "if (($REQUEST_METHOD=='post'))".
"var_dump($REQUEST_METHOD);" shows that the variable doesn't exist.
Since I grabbed the code from a 2001 update, is there any chance that this is already obsolete? I
checked the documentation but didn't find anything relevant.
Any advice would be highly appreciated. ;-)
The following is the complete code that I got stuck at
if (($REQUEST_METHOD=='post')) {
////////////////////////////////
// This loop removed "dangerous" characters from the posted data
// and puts backslashes in front of characters that might cause
// problems in the database.
////////////////////////////////
for(reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$key=key($HTTP_POST_VARS);
next($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$this = addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$key]);
$this = strtr($this, ">", " ");
$this = strtr($this, "<", " ");
$this = strtr($this, "|", " ");
$$key = $this;
}
else
{ print ('Boo, I never got executed'); }//apparently the script never make it to this
point
And add appriopriate
assigments at the top of your script.
