querystring in new php problem solved

[Anon]

For all guys who have a problem with querystrings

http://www.test.com/test.php?var=joke

and you can\'t get echo $joke to work

The screwers at PHP have made a change in the php.ini file in the latest version :

register_globals = off

now and in previous versions it was ON

at your service 😉

This should be followed by the following warning as it appears in the PHP.INI

"You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead
to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of."

Better to do

1. $_GET[joke]
2. extract($_GET)
