note 33992 added to function.extract

With regard to what's been said, I like to work with variables without a prefix but it is not good to import them all into a global scope. In addition, my preference is to explicitly set all undeclared variables to NULL, but you can change that: $expected=array( 'name', // Only accept these variables from a submit! 'email', 'favorite_color' ); foreach ($expected as $formvar) $$formvar = (isset($_REQUEST[$formvar]))?$_REQUEST[$formvar]:NULL; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33992 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33992&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33992&report=yes
