Note Submitter: Rodrigo ---- There is something I don't Understand, if somebody develops all his codes by himself, how come you can duplicate variable names? So if this the case, you can use extract() in a safe way, because you already know what and where are your variables in your code. Even if you don't use extract, you can by accident overwrite, you can "emulate" the use of extract like this: <?php /*asuming I got from a POST form the next variables $_POST["some"], $_POST["other"] */ //So if I use extract, extract($_POST); //I got $some and $other //But if I do this... $some = $_POST["some"]; $other = $_POST["other"]; //I got the same result, two variables with the names $some and $other, ?> So, the problem persist, I got two variables that in any case could be overwritten by accident, so I really don't see the trouble extract() may cause, Although, if you are a part of a group of programmers working in the same proyect, probably, extract() could cause security troubles.
