-Summary: Tutorial on php.net still usses
$HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]; which is deprecated
Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Open
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: all
PHP Version: 4.2.1
New Comment:
tut.php is in phpweb, not phpdoc.
On a related note, $HTTP_*_VARS will most likely exist forever. A much
more serious problem on tut.php is how the words convey that
register_globals is always on, like in PHP3. See bug #17428.

On http://www.php.net/tut.php there is an example of how to get form
variables data into php variables. In this example
$HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]; is used instead of: $_POST["name"] Since the
manual tells the world that $HTTP_*_ is deprecated I think it is
sensible to make sure this beginners tutorial gives those beginners a
good example.
