Before PHP 4.2.0 the default value for register_globals was on. And, in PHP 3 it was always on. The PHP community is encouraging all to not rely on this directive as it's preferred to assume it's off and code accordingly.

Has anyone had issues with their php scripts not working after upgrading php from 3 to 4.3?
I have simple page that inserts data into mysql db. The scripts worked fine until after the upgrade. Below is one of my php scripts. When I hit submit, nothing is added to the db :(
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Add Record</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
// code that will be executed if the form has been submitted:
if ($submit) {
// connect to the database
include 'pwinfo.php';
$db = MYSQL_CONNECT($host,$user,$password);
mysql_select_db("DB", $db);
$sql = "INSERT INTO DB (value1, value2) VALUES ('$value1', '$value2')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
print ("Thank you! Information entered.\n");
MYSQL_CLOSE($db);
} else {
// else show the form to submit new data:
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 width="580" border=0 align="center" dwcopytype="CopyTableRow">
<tr bgcolor="#FFFF99">
<td valign=top align=left width="324">
<div align="right"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">value1: </font></div>
</td>
<td valign=top align=left width="385">

</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#FFFF99">
<td valign=top align=left width="324">
<div align="right"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">value2:
</font></div>
</td>
<td valign=top align=left width="385">
<div align="left"> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">
<select name="value2" size="1">
<option><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Female</font></option>
<option><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Male</font></option>
</select>
</font></div>
</td>
</table>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
