Actually, they are. You are assuming the PHP directive
register_globals = on when using $phrase from the form
below. register_globals = on is what creates $phrase.
As of PHP 4.2.0 the default value for register_globals
has become off. Regardless, there are other options:
Try either:
// Worked since PHP 3 (forever)
print $HTTP_GET_VARS['phrase'];
// Worked since PHP 4.1.0
print $_GET['phrase'];
print $_REQUEST['phrase'];
// Worked since PHP 4.1.0 too
// See docs for details (see also extract())
import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');
print $r_phrase;
Those are some options. See also:
