automatically initialize request args

[crouchl]

Where is the setting for PHP to automatically "register" variables from the request arguments sent into the page, rather than having to explicitly do it like:

$thisVar = $HTTP_POST_VARS['thisVar'];

Are you sure you really need it?

I believe it's register_globals but for some reason when I searched the PHP manual here to provide a link, it wasn't listed!

Oh, you mean that. That's not a function, but a configuration variable. Set it to On. But it will have effect on all your scripts, and it's considered harmful!

thanks, that setting is exactly what I needed. I'm just using it to run an intranet app so I'm not worried much about the security issues.
