Note Submitter: Ruquay K Calloway ---- While we all appreciate the many helpful posts to get rid of register_globals, maybe you're one of those who just loves it. More likely, your boss says you just have to live with it because he thinks it's a great feature. No problem, just call (below defined): <?php register_globals(); ?> anywhere, as often as you want. Or update your scripts! <?php /** * function to emulate the register_globals setting in PHP * for all of those diehard fans of possibly harmful PHP settings :-) * @author Ruquay K Calloway * @param string $order order in which to register the globals, e.g. 'egpcs' for default */ function register_globals($order = 'egpcs') { // define a subroutine if(!function_exists('register_global_array')) { function register_global_array(array $superglobal) { foreach($superglobal as $varname => $value) { global $$varname; $$varname = $value; } } } $order = explode("\r\n", trim(chunk_split($order, 1))); foreach($order as $k) { switch(strtolower($k)) { case 'e': register_global_array($_ENV); break; case 'g': register_global_array($_GET); break; case 'p': register_global_array($_POST); break; case 'c': register_global_array($_COOKIE); break; case 's': register_global_array($_SERVER); break; } } } ?>
