note 40689 added to language.variables.predefined

folks, some of you do not seem to realize that extracting all you _GET/_POST/_COOKIE arrays to the global scope defeats the purpose of having register_globals turned off. (ie debabratak at softhome dot net above) The point is to make sure you know where your variables are coming from, espeically your $has_auth variables for example. Good coding practice dictates that you now put $_POST['foo'] where you used to just willy-nilly put $foo (assuming $foo came from a POST). Get in the habit of it and save yourself a headache. And if your host can't keep the PHP on the server up to date, get a new host - there are too many bugs and security holes to even mention in older versions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40689 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40689&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40689&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
