With the register global turned off, you can use the $_GET, $_POST, $COOKIE, $_SERVER, $_ENV, $_REQUEST or $_SESSION. If you use the hyperlink, like "<a href='next_page.php?menu=1&submenu=1'>Next</a>". This defeated the security purpose and allow the hacker to know the terms like "menu" or "submenu". -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22685 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22685 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22685
