EZ ? Increase your site score! Coding with reg globals OFF

[dalecosp]

I've decided I need to bite the bullet and code with reg. globals "OFF." Two questions.....

1. Where's a good quick read?

2. Are we talking basically---

convert this---(form validation, as example)

if (!$UserName) { echo "Sign in, please!";}

to this:

if (!$_POST['UserName']) {echo "Sign in, please!";}

Thanks,

Dalecosp

If your form is using POST that's pretty much all you need to do. You can even do it without the single quotes around Username.

Thanks for your answer. To go a bit deeper, register globals OFF basically means this for all vars, doesn't it?

E.g.,

$COOKIE[VarName]
$GET[VarName]
$_HTTP_SERVER[VarName]

and so on?

Is this defined clearly and easily in one section of the PHP manual?

Thx for your time....

Yes, look for info on predefined variables.
