Upgrade 4.1.2 to 4.31.... errors

[dloeppky]

Hi all,

This line gives me an error:

$username = strtolower(trim($username));

($username) being a form value

It says $username is undefined.

Any help?

Cheers,
David

You will probably have to use:

$_POST['username'] = strtolower(trim($_POST['username']));

// or

$_GET['username'] = strtolower(trim($_GET['username']));

Depending on the method which you send the form (GET or POST) as the latest version of PHP comes with register_globals off for security reasons. If you want though you can turn in back on, just look for:

register_globals = off

And change it to on, however this is not recommended. Here are some articles related to this issue.

Though there are ways to code securely with register_globals on.
