Replace $HTTP_*_VARS with $_*

[tneves]

Hi everyone,

This is a great contrib. Special thanks to Richard Bentley (CMOTD) for this one. I don't understand why register_globals doesn't seem to be an important topic for OSC community in general ?!? :'(

Well, I just wanted to ask for advise: should I replace $HTTP_*_VARS with $_* (GET, POST, etc...) in ALL of my catalog files? Would that harm my code in anyway?

It's a simple question but I haven't come up with a clear information anywhere. I have register globals contrib running ok, on a server with PHP4.4.6 and rg deactivated.

 

Thanks!

You cannot simply replace them in the catalog folder, because there are other files in the subfolders of osc that also use the $HTTP_ arrays. Also with functions an $HTTP_ must be defined as global but that is not the case with the $_ globals
