[RESOLVED] Automatically capturing form fields in variables

[dougmcc1]

How do I configure php so that I don't have to initialize variables I capture from a form? For example, I dont want to have to do this:

$formfield=$_POST['formfield'];

I want to be able to use $formfield without having to type the above code for every field in my forms.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, behavior like that (e.g. register_globals) is what opened up security exploits and led to bad coding habits.

Long story short, don't try to weasel your way out of a few keystrokes - use $_POST['formfield'] instead of $formfield in your code.

That sounds like good advice. Thanks Brad.
