Variables Problem

jellyfish

previously when i get variables from form , etc... i used the following syntax $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $HTTP_POST_FILES...... but now that i have upgraded my php to a newer version , is there any way i can update the codes to the new syntax without searching for them myself?

search and replace? its a common feature among many text editors...

Textpad for example will even allow for search/replace across multiple files at once...

Odd that you would be programming, and not know the basic features of a Text editor...

I think what tekky was getting at was use the "Replace" feature found in many text editing programs... It's about as automated as it gets...

You do a "replace" and it gives you two fields to fill in. One that is what you want to replace, and the other is what you want to replace it with...

So in other words, use the replace feature to replace $HTTP_GET_VARS with $GET. Click the "Replace All" button, and it will automatically find all instances of the phrase $HTTP_GET_VARS and replace them with $GET. Many advanced text editors will even do this for any files that are open, so in theory, you open 10 pages needing changes, run the replace feature, and in about 5-10 seconds, all of your $HTTP_GET_VARS becomes $_GET automatically. Not sure how much more automatic it gets (aside from running a PHP script).

How much more autmated would you like? About as far as it could go is reading your mind and doing it all for you... this way you get away with selecting the files/dirs and phrase to find/replace...

Down boy... I gave jelly the benefit of the doubt, and assumed he/she didn't fully comprehend what you were saying... That's why I felt compelled to go into a bit more detail about what your original post was trying to convey...
