Look into the extract() function. You could use it to turn the $_POST or $_GET arrays into local variables, whether you do it at the beginning of the script and make them global as you are currently doing or by doing it at the beginning of the functions that you use them, without globalizing anything. For example... given the url http://localhost/foo.php?bar=banana you'd have $_GET['bar']=="banana" instead of $bar=="banana"; at the beginning of the script you'd have extract($_GET); and $bar would exist with the value "banana" -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
