How to move beyond register_globals

[Chris_96_WS6]

I recently purchased a website which ran on a server with register_globals on.

For security reasons I refuse to turn it on on my server.

So I set about coding in $POST and $GET so the forms would function correctly. However, I'm having problems when 1 page will both get things passed from another page in the URL and also will pass the same variables to itself via post. The two conflict with each other.

is there a single global that would pull both?

$_request[''];

WTF?!?! I keep typing that in upper case but the forum is making it lower case: If should be:

$ _ R E Q U E S T [ ' ' ] ;

(without the spaces)
