Hi, I didn't realized that PHP had been going so fast that it was creating problems for compatiblility.
Here is my situation: PHP on my development server is 4.0.6 while on the application server it is PHP 4.2.2. I bet you all know that there's a huge basic differences between the two but I don't know them! In PHP 4.2.2, variables passed by either GET or POST method can not be accessed straitforwardly by their name, you have to fetch them from $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS. To my understanding, directly using submitted variables by their name is one of the basic great PHP features, and I always use vars in this way. However, you can imagine that, recently due to the PHP upgrading I got bunch of problems when deploying. What I want to know are: 1. why PHP changed the way to access submitted vars; 2. any good suggestion to avoid this problem, such as that is it possible to configure 4.2.2 to compatible downward. Thanks! Alex Shi BTW: my development server is RH Linux 7.1 so cannot upgrade PHP to 4.2.2. -- --------------------------- TrafficBuilder Network: http://www.bestadv.net/index.cfm?ref=7029 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
