From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Win2K Server PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Can't get POST to work without register_globals = on
Tried for days to figure why the tutorial I'm working with had so many apparent bugs. It was written against a beta PHP4 and apparently at that point register_globals = on in php.ini was standard. This is both a bug and an education problem, since examples of "correct" security-conscious code are non-existent and newbies to PHP have no idea of what security issues are involved. I can't upgrade to 4.2.3RC1 or CVS snapshot right now due to other issues. Yes, this is known data (dupe of various other bug reports) but important enough to address with at least more documentation. Caused me about two lost days here. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20652&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20652&r=isapi
