In earlier versions, use $HTTP_GET_VARS. An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP GET method. Automatically global in any scope. This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. This simply means that it is available in all scopes throughout a script. You don't need to do a global $_GET; to access it within functions or methods, as you do with $HTTP_GET_VARS. $HTTP_GET_VARS contains the same initial information, but is not an autoglobal. (Note that HTTP_GET_VARS and $_GET are different variables and that PHP handles them as such) If the register_globals directive is set, then these variables will also be made available in the global scope of the script; i.e., separate from the $_GET and $HTTP_GET_VARS arrays. For related information, see the security chapter titled Using Register Globals. These individual globals are not autoglobals. HTTP POST variables: $_POST Note: Introduced in 4.1.0. In earlier versions, use $HTTP_POST_VARS. An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method. Automatically global in any scope.
