Re: 4.2.1 Vars

For now you can add this to the top of your scripts: $types_to_register = array('GET','POST','COOKIE','SESSION','SERVER'); foreach ($types_to_register as $type) { $arr = @${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'}; if (@count($arr) > 0) { extract($arr, EXTR_OVERWRITE); } } Somebody else posted this a few weeks back and it has worked for me until I can convert everything over...
