A lot of the php code out there relies on register_globals being set to "on" in the php.ini -- which may not be an option for some developers. It seems that the following function would attempt to overcome that issue for later versions of php. I haven't tried it out yet, as I have no need for it right now -- and it may pose some of the same issues as if you had register_globals set to "on" -- but here it is, anyway. function getRequestVariables() { foreach ($_POST as $postKey => $postValue) { global $$postKey; $$postKey = trim (stripslashes ($postValue)); } foreach ($_GET as $getKey => $getValue) { global $$getKey; if (empty($$getKey)) { $$getKey = trim (stripslashes ($getValue)); } } } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29266 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29266 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29266
