Getting posted values using $var not $_POST['var']

[ruski]

Hi friends,

 

I have a little problem. Just switched server and most of my code is broken due to a lot of form posted variables being retrived by using its variable name e.g:

 

$variable = $variable;

 

and not

 

$variable = $_POST['variable'];

 

I was wandering what is the name of the php config that I can alter to enable my code to work in such a way again.

 

Thanks in advance

The setting is register_globals, but you should change your code not the setting.

register_globals have been complete removed in php6, so you will need to correct your code before it will work under php6. register_globals being on also allow hackers to set session variables by simply putting same name GET parameters on the end of the URL when they visit your pages.
