Thank you! =)
Okay, okay... Sorry to keep rambling on like this, but I just need to get this 100%
straight:
I read up on the predefined variables on php.net, and as you said, in older PHP
versions, the $_GET equivalent was $HTTP_GET_VARS, and that did the same as $_GET.
So, the RegisterGlobals boolean did exist in older versions too, but just now
defaulted to false instead of true? Meaning, that my older scripts which used neither
$HTTP_GET_VARS nor $_GET will infact fail on all versions where RegisterGlobals is
false. Is that correct?
So, to maintain absolute compatibility, I'll just have to check if either $_GET[aVar]
or $HTTP_GET_VARS[aVar] is set and get the value from the existing one?
Again, thanks for the help =)
Daniel

Sorry, I missunderstood your question about backwards compatible.
YES, accessing your variables this way ($_POST[] etc), IS backwards
compatibel, ie, they are placed in those arrays anyways, BUT, the method
is not backwards compatible to older versions of PHP, there the arrays
were called $HTTP_GET_VARS or something similarly unlike $_GET...
