$HTTP_POST_VARS vs $Post

Recommended Posts

$HTTP_*_VARS are depreciated thats the only difference

You should use the new superglobals.

$HTTP_POST_VARS is  $_POST
$HTTP_GET_VARS is $_GET
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS is $_COOKIE
etc.

As of PHP5 they are turned off. To use these older style superglobals you'll need to turn a setting called register_long_arrays on. Otherwise just use the new shorter superglobals

Another difference is that $_POST is a superglobal array, which means that it can be seen throughout your script. The $HTTP_POST_VARS array can only be seen at the top most level of your script and it must be declared as global it you want to use it in funcitons.
