[PHP] 4.04 -- 4.1.2 incompatible
Hi Can someone please tell me what settings to check for on 4.1.2 in order to ensure that scripts that runs on 4.0.4 will run on 4.1.2? I HAVE checked registered_globals = on, but I still get variables that are not passed on via URL and form submits. The app has a login form that submits to an action page, on the action page I generate a link that goes to another form, I append the username and password to the end of the URL of the link on the action page, and then create hidden fields that echo the username and password in the subsequent form to be passed along with the extra form field to the last page. This whole process works 100% on 4.0.4, but breaks at the second page on 4.1.2 (ie, it DOESN't pass the username and password to the action page from the form fields). I need to resove this, as I have lots of applications that was written in this way, and are currently working, but want to upgrade the server to RedHat 7.3 that comes with 4.1.2 and don't want to end up with a bunch of broken apps. I know it's not the correct way to have coded, but it's done now, and for now, I won't mind to have register_globals = On, although THAT doesn't seem to be the solution... Please advise.

Yes, phpinfo() returns that register globals is ON... On Tue, 2002-08-20 at 11:52, Thies C.

If you happen to move your code elsewhere in the future, this will save you the time of having to go back and specify a new POST target. drw -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you happen to move your code elsewhere in the future, this will save you the time of having to go back and specify a new POST target. I've personally had difficulties with this technique, as Netscape browsers didn't return $PHP_SELF the way I had written it. Make sure to make it such that Netscape users can see it too. http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/139/fid/6 -Mark -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
