PHP update problem (POST,GET)

[mrdance]

I upgrade my server from PHP 3 something to the latest 4.3.3. I noticed that it won't accept $values by default and want to use POST['values'] or something.

My question is if there is a simple way to ignore this...for now...I am lazy and don't won't to change my scripts right now. I tried changing the parameter register_globals to "on" but POST or GET does not work yet.

Is there anything I can do or do I have to rewrite my scripts?

Thanks / Henrik

well in your php.ini, register_globals = Off by default in newer versions of PHP, you can either turn it to register_globals = On and restart apache to make changes happen, or use:

$_POST['varname'] when using a form and method = post

or $_GET['varname'] when using a form and method = get or passing data thru the query string

I'm sorry but that did'nt work for me. Seems like something else is missing. I'll guess I have to change all the values =)

show us the code where you tried it, maybe we can spot of you did something wrong

Have you tryed:

extract($_POST);

It worked with me!

remember to add it BEFORE you try to access the var's

that will work, but be wary about that, then you are not specifically calling certain vars and it is just about like having register_globals = On

however it does work, and if this isn't any sort of login type system, i wouldn't worry too much about it
