note 47965 added to function.import-request-variables

import_request_variables does *not* read from the $_GET, $_POST, or $_COOKIE arrays - it reads the data directly from what was submitted. This is an important distinction if, for example, the server has magic_quotes turned on and you massage the data to run stripslashes on it; if you then use import_request_variables, your variables will still have slashes in them. In other words: even if you say $_GET=""; $_POST=""; then use import_request_variables, it'll still get all the request data. If you change the contents of $_GET and you then want to bring this data into global variables, use extract($_GET, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, "myprefix") instead. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.import-request-variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47965 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47965&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47965&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47965&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47965&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47965&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47965&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47965&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
