Additionally, you could put this in a header file or the top of your page:
reset ($_GET);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_GET)) {
//echo "$key => $val<br>\n";
$$key = $val;
}
reset ($_POST);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)) {
//echo "$key => $val<br>\n";
$$key = $val;
}
reset ($_SESSION);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_SESSION)) {
//echo "$key => $val<br>\n";
$$key = $val;
}
So you can leave register_globals = off and get mostly the same
functionality (and security issues if you're worried about them too).
