Re: [PHP] php 3 to 5 upgrade: foreach loop no longer working

There is actually an option in php.ini to switch on the $HTTP_*_VAR variables, although it's off by default in PHP 5. It's still better in my opinion to use the $_* superglobals ($_POST, $_GET etc), but if you've got hundreds of scripts and no time to convert them (or you're running phpBB, which relies on the deprecated behaviour), then enabled register_long_arrays in php.ini.

through most of that I know have a problem with a page that is being submitted to
another page which contains different values for checkboxes. I would pull the values
from each checkbox using a foreach loop as such:
foreach ($checkbox as $value) {
echo Value: $valuebr /\n;
}
however the value is no longer being echoed to the page.
What am I missing here?
This is the code that is being submitted, $num being an incremented value:
input name=checkbox[?php echo $num; ?] type=checkbox id=checkbox[?php echo
$num; ?] value=?php echo $row_rsADS['customers_id']; ? /
Thanks in advance
Register Globals?

Is the checkbox 'checked'? If not it returns no value.

It's a major security hole if left on ;) And convincing people to plug that hole was not happening, so something more major was needed. Only if the programmer uses it. As I understand it, register_globals being on doesn't present a security risk in and of itself as long as the programmer is not relying on its functionality.

It's a major security hole if left on ;) it's a major _potential_ security hole. proper initialized of all [global] variables (and santization of incoming data) means an application running under register_globals can be as safe as one running without. the reality of course is that there are millions of security issues out there due to the problem of global variables not being initialized ... :-P And convincing people to plug that hole was not happening, so something more major was needed.
