Recently Myacen turned registered globals off, which has greatly hindered my site's scripts, and in fact I had to rework a bunch of pages and it still doesn't fully work. I'm rather new to php and I guess you can say my coding is a bit primitive or redundant, but I was just wondering if there was a way around using register globals.

For example, I have a memberlist and an applicant list, that displays the username in a neat and organized list in order by their ID. In order to be able to view the individual member profile or application I've been using the following:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT userid,username,user_level,aim,icq FROM users ORDER by userid ASC");

while($temp = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#E6E6E6\" onmouseover=\"style.backgroundColor='#D6D6D6'\" onmouseout=\"style.backgroundColor='#E6E6E6'\">
<td width=\"150\" height=\"15\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\"><font color=\"#000000\" size=\"1\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><a href=\"http://cod.seeohdee.com/viewprofile.php?page=profile&user=$temp[username]\">$temp[username]</font></a></td></tr>
}

I took out a lot of the html so it didn't take up too much space, but I wanted you to get an idea of what I'm talking about. This in particular:

<a href=\"http://cod.seeohdee.com/viewprofile.php?page=profile&user=$temp[username]\">$temp[username]</font></a>

    On this page:
    viewprofile.php

    Put this at the top of the page:

    extract($_GET);

    This will produce the variables:
    $page = profile
    $user = (Value of $temp[username])

    Then you can use the variables like normal. If you ever post variables from a form, use extract($_POST); instead
