I have /no/ idea what you're referring to. However, I did find this: "If the register_globals directive is set, then these variables will also be made available in the global scope of the script; i.e., separate from the $_SERVER and $HTTP_SERVER_VARS arrays." which suggests to me that the behaviour that the original poster described is anomalous. Could you please explain what you meant by "This is expected behavior"? Because I can't figure it out. (Incidentally, I searched for a bug report and can't find anything for 4.3.3 [http://tinyurl.com/rm5h]. I'm probably as interested as Boris is to find an answer here... if anyone can explain what's actually going on, rather than the standard "don't use register_globals" knee-jerk, I'd appreciate it.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Then I would expect an E_NOTICE (though the default error reporting level is lower, so probably not)... in any case, I read "Mostly it works, other times (about 10% of tries) it's just empty" as implying randomness, not "it doesn't work at specific points".

If you just need the filename of the include file you can set it in code by assigning it to a variable at design time. Something like $ThisPage = "include.php".

#1. Under no circumstances should you trust JavaScript to have sanitized
your data in any way, shape or form. Furthermore, since you'll probably be
storing this data in a database, you should assume some hacker is attempting
to screw you with an age like:
$age = "38; drop table foo;";
So, when you do:
$query = "update foo set age = $age where id = $id";
What you *GET* is:
"update foo set age = $age; drop table foo; where id = $id"
Guess what? Your foo table just got deleted. Have a nice day.
So, here's a sample script for you, *complete* with some sample sanitizing:
Assumption: You have a valid "id" for the record you are editing.
This page re-displays the data after updating it, which is good for
user-interface to correct any mis-typed data.
\n";
}
$good_id = (int) $id;
$id_string = (string) $good_id;
if ($id != $id_string){
$message .= "Invalid ID -- Your hack attempt and IP
($REMOTE_ADDR) have been logged. Have a nice day.";
# Emailing yourself on every hack attempt may be "too much"...
# It's up to you exactly how to deal with the rats:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "Hack attempt", "$REMOTE_ADDR tried
ID $id on $PHP_SELF");
}
if (!$message){
$query = "update foo set age = $age where id = $id";
# Displaying mysql_error() to the public is NOT GOOD.
# It exposes your internal database structure too easily.
# Log it somewhere for yourself in a production site.
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
}
}
else{
# If this is their first time here, give a blank age:
$age = '';
}
