note 33849 added to language.variables.external

you can convert old code to work with register_globals=off without sacrificing security. Or maybe you like working with variables the old way better. I know I do! I looked all over for something like this so here it is: $expected=array( 'name', // Only accept these variables from a submit! 'email', 'favorite_color' ); for ($i=0;$i < count($expected);$i++) $$expected[$i] = (isset($_GET[$expected[$i]]))?$_GET[$expected[$i]]:NULL; // This is a test. echo "Name: $name<br>"; echo "Email: $email<br>"; echo "Fav. Color: $favorite_color<br>"; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33849 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33849&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33849&report=yes
