note 24989 added to language.variables.external

Newbie's like me should note that register_globals is disabled in the php.ini file as of PHP 4.20. Unless it is enabled, GET and POST data will not be available as $var data in the called script. To fix this problem, change the register_globals line in php.ini to read register_globals = On I understand that the people who are developing PHP have their reasons for doing this but it seems like a really newbie-hostile move, since a lot of tutorials on the Web and in books simply DON'T WORK without register_globals enabled. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24989 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24989 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24989
