Good luck trying to retrain millions of programmers to use a CGI object or a function to retrieve GPC values.

You will be surprised, really :) I doubt it. We haven't even gotten everybody to get rid of register_globals and switch to $_GET['foo'] instead of $foo yet. The register_globals change at least had a clear Security reasoning behind it, once one understood the problem. [Though I confess I was in denial for ages since I always initialize variables.] If we change this around yet again, it will be disastrous, imho.

Please, who said we will *drop* the GPC array? That's exactly what I try to avoid. What I say is to __add__ something like that, not to replace gpc. --Pierre
