For each variable that it says is "Undefined" and/or which is coming from POST, simply global search and replace: $foo -> $_POST['foo'] If it's embedded in a "string$foo" you want "string$_POST[foo]" Note that doing import($_POST) is strictly an emergency measure which completely defeats the purpose of register_globals OFF in the first place. You can do it for a few hours, days before you fix it for real, as above. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
