note 84444 added to security.globals

I had a look at the post from Dice, in which he suggested the function unregister_globals(). It didn't seem to work - only tested php 4.4.8 and 5.2.1 - so I made some tweaking to get it running. (I had to use $GLOBALS due to the fact that $$name won't work with superglobals). <?php //Undo register_globals function unregister_globals() { if (ini_get('register_globals')) { $array = array('_REQUEST', '_FILES'); foreach ($array as $value) { if(isset($GLOBALS[$value])){ foreach ($GLOBALS[$value] as $key => $var) { if (isset($GLOBALS[$key]) && $var === $GLOBALS[$key]) { //echo 'found '.$key.' = '.$var.' in $'.$value."\n"; unset($GLOBALS[$key]); } } } } } } ?> The echo was for debuging, thought it might come in handy. ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 217.80.100.197 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84444 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84444 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84444 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
