Hi, If i use, at the beginning of my scripts, ini_set('register_globals', 0), register globals will be turned off? Thanks
ini_set() just doesn't make sense for that directive. register_globals takes the input data from HTTP requests and sets them in the symbol table before any of your PHP code gets parsed. PHP has already done the work. Doesn't seem too terribly efficient to just throw all of that away on every script invocation, now does it? But what you *can* do, is to ini_get('register_globals') and have your script act accordingly. You could for example extract() your $_GET and $_POST variables. http://php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php -- NEW? | http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html STFA | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&w=2 STFM | http://php.net/manual/en/index.php STFW | http://www.google.com/search?q=php
