Register Globals Off

[omro]

Hi there,

I'm new to coding without global variables being registered.

Could anyone direct me to a tutorial telling my how I now access global variables and session variables and the like or give me some examples, thanks, I'd really appreciate it,

Here's a good tutorial - why not try the manual

helps if you would actually READ my request

hummm...

from the link i suggested:

Example 1. Registering a variable with $SESSION.

<?php
session_start();
// Use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less
if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
    $_SESSION['count'] = 0;
} else {
    $_SESSION['count']++;
}
?>

Example 2. Unregistering a variable with $SESSION and register_globals disabled.

<?php
session_start();
// Use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less
unset($_SESSION['count']);
?>

Example 5. Counting the number of hits of a single user

<?php
if (!session_is_registered('count')) {
    session_register('count');
    $count = 1;
}
else {
    $count++;
}
?>

Hello visitor, you have seen this page <?php echo $count; ?> times.<p>

To continue, <A HREF="nextpage.php?<?php echo SID?>">click here</A>

Which deals with registering sessions and the like (and consequently "how to access them") and also what to do if "globals are disabled".

Which i thought covered your request for "examples", if not "tutorials" aswell. But maybe that's just me

thank you, I apologise.

I was in a hurry and needed to know how to get the information out of a form more than from a session, which I should have specified.

I didn't know that you could get form information from $POST['variable'] and $GET['variable'] - as none of my books cover this as they were all written shortly before the change was made.

I have looked at the PHP Manual before and found that for simple things it's absurdly cryptic,

Sorry again,

Owen
