RE: [PHP-INST] PHP/IIS5 Problem

This is because register_globals is set to Off in your php.ini. For security reasons, it is best to leave this setting as it is; instead, add some code at the top of your script so that you get what you would expect: $week = $_GET['week']; $day = $_GET['day']; ... The security hole comes in form submissions. If all you do is refence a variable submitted via a form by its name instead of via the $_POST array, anyone can "submit" your form by figuring out the appropriate URL name/value pairs--a BAD thing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gator [mailto:gator@acs.bz] > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 9:49 AM > To: php-install@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-INST] PHP/IIS5 Problem > > > I needed to move a couple of working sites that use PHP > scripts to a new Win2K server.
