Extract provides an invaluable way to get around the possibility of the PHP directive
register_globals being off or on. If you're used to register_globals being on, and you're
worried that new PHP 4.2.0 implementations will mess up existing code (because it now defaults to
off), try using this:
if (!empty($_GET)) {
extract($_GET);
} else if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
}
if (!empty($_POST)) {
extract($_POST);
} else if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}
That's from PHPMyAdmin (to give proper credit), and the same thing would probably be useful
elsewhere. Thanks,
Steve
