I'd just like to add that if we were going to make BC-breaking changes to superglobals in PHP 8, we might as well also get rid of the name mangling on keys for $_GET, $_POST and $_REQUEST at the same time ("foo.x" becomes "foo_x" etc, because we used to have register_globals and needed clean variable names).

Excellent point. I always forget this is a thing we do and it needs to die. Even if we leave everything else aboue the super globals alone, this one thing should die in PHP 8.

Come to think of it, can we fix $_FILES while we're at it? :p -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
