note 68342 added to security.globals

Here's a historical note dating back to PHP/FI for those that have used PHP for some time and feel like, "Yes, this is how I thought PHP was designed." Quoted from above: "Reliance on this directive was quite common and many people didn't even know it existed and assumed it's just how PHP works." Quoted from http://us3.php.net//manual/phpfi2.php#starting <----Begin Quote Block----> A simple example Suppose you have a form: <?php <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/php.cgi/~userid/display.html" METHOD=POST> <INPUT TYPE="text" name="name"> <INPUT TYPE="text" name="age"> <INPUT TYPE="submit"> </FORM> ?> Your display.html file could then contain something like: <?php echo "Hi $name, you are $age years old!<p>" ?> It's that simple! PHP/FI automatically creates a variable for each form input field in your form. You can then use these variables in the ACTION URL file. <----End Quote Block----> I never assumed this was how PHP worked. I was told this is how it worked! :-) ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.97.180.250 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.0 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_20_30,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68342 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68342 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68342 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
