[RESOLVED] Globaling $_POST

alirezaok

i have a form. after submiting it it's data send to another page with the post methos. in this page uses:

extract($_POST);

to extract all variables. now i want to have all varibales in function

fuction act() {


}

but it is hard to global each of variable in function :

fuction act() {
global $inuput1, $inuput2, $inuput3 ....

}

is there any way to i can global all $_POST varibales in fuction?

thanks

Use extract($_POST) in the function... but such indiscriminate use of extract() is tantamount to switching on register_globals, so beware.

Why not use $POST['input1'] instead, since $POST is a superglobal variable?

For what you are describing, [man]import_request_variables/man is the function you are looking for. I strongly recommend using the optional "prefix" argument to avoid variable name clashes (selecting a prefix you will not use with any other variables).

because there are a lot of varibales that must be $_POST[] with any of them. one by one.

also thanks of all ways. very good ways promised.

Don't let the saving of a few keystrokes drive your implementation decisions. A few keystrokes saved now are not worth the couple minutes they initially gain you if they lead to bugs due to variable name collisions or difficult to debug and maintain code as a result of the close-coupling caused by the use of global variables in functions or the ambiguity of data sources by using overly-simple variable names.
