Hi,

Robert and I struggled with this when setting up the framework we would be using. Robert Found a class structure known as a Singleton which gives us our Application/Domain Scoping.
as for User we use Session Cookies
and Local/Request Scope is just var defined within there context.

In our efforts there hasn't been anything that Is done in Witango that can't be emulated in PHP 5+

IMO this has been a major issue with php, and why, until recently, I would not run mod_php in my production environment. There are applications that rely on globals, so that can be an issue.

But I'm only replying to emphasize the benefit of Witango's namespaces (SCOPE). To my knowledge, the php language doesn't natively support variable isolation based on what we consider to be the natural namespaces in web applications -- user, application and domain.

This issue, is not really a security issue with witango, but you may have heard something about it, because it is a big issue, in the php community, and it has to do with a special setting, called REGISTER_GLOBALS, that used to default to on pre php4.2, and now defaults to off, and in my opinion, should never be turned on. To understand the issue, you can look here:

I don't know anything about hacking, so this might be stupid question, but
here it goes.
In my 'enter.TAF' I use args names like password, userid, and then as
necessary  I assign them to variables with similar names.
Do hackers look for args & vars with these types of names?
Of course I keep these ARGS hidden and the site is encrypted etc, but I was
just wondering if I should change the names of these args?
