note 47024 added to faq.misc

The above snippet to emulate register_globals off appears to be incorrect. $global represents the value of a global, not its name. Therefore it should be: <?php // Emulate register_globals off if (ini_get('register_globals')) { $superglobals = array($_SERVER, $_ENV, $_FILES, $_COOKIE, $_POST, $_GET); if (isset($_SESSION)) { array_unshift($superglobals, $_SESSION); } foreach ($superglobals as $superglobal) { foreach ($superglobal as $name=>$global) { unset($GLOBALS[$name]); } } ini_set('register_globals', false); } ?> I have tested and used this script with success. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.misc.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47024 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47024&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47024&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47024&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47024&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47024&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47024&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47024&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
