That's the type of solution that I took on one of our servers where I had
deliberately turned off register_globals (prior to PHP 4.1 or whenever the
default was changed), though I just used a loop:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $var => $val) {
$$var = $val;
}
// repeat for the other relevant $HTTP_*_VARS
The result was a short script that could be require_once'd at the
top of every script that depended on register_globals being off.
