i have problem with my site i had to put $_GET['']; to every variable help me

[kmk4]

i program a complete web site few years ago i change the host so my links didn't work at the new host i analyse the problem and i find that for example the code
[code]
<?
if ($ook=='one'){
echo ('ok');
}else{
echo ('not ok');
}
?>[/code]
if i typed on the browser test.php?ook=one it still print not ok
but if i added
[code]
$ook = $_GET['ook'];
[/code]
before the if it works so my quesions is :
1-what is $_GET['']; and $_POST[''];... i think $_POST for forms and $_GET for access through test.php?var=constant if i was wrong correct me ?
2-why the code work so fine without $_GET[] for years does it becouse the php verion change or upgrade in php version increase the security give details please?
3-what is the easiest way to repair my site coz i don't want to read it all again and chick for every single variable on it and add $_GET[] to every page for every variable ?
thanks for reading my topics

1. $_GET[] is for variables in the url, so yes you are correct.
2. It could be because of that.
3. I find it easier to just add

if ($_GET['ook'] == "one") {
echo "ok";
} else {
echo "not ok";
}

That should work.

thank you for fast replaying
put about quesion no 3 that mean i'll search for every single if or every single variable and add $_GET[] is there any easiest way for example add code at the bigning of file or something

[ki]

you could try a function

The easiest way to repair your site is use .htaccess to turn "register_globals" to be "on"
To do that you will need to create .htaccess file in your site main directory (or the directory that contain yor php script)
In you .htaccess should contain the following line.
[code]
php_flag register_globals on
[/code]

but remember, turning "register_globals" to "on" is easy but less secure coding.

i downloaded the file .htaacess and i add
php_flag register_globals on
to the end of the file but i get server internal error
so what is the correct way to do it
this is the content of my .htacess file
[code]
# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET

POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.mysite.net
AuthUserFile

/home/mysite/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile

/home/mysite/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
[/code]

Here's another option..

[code=php:0]extract($_GET);[/code]


See http://sg.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php for details.  It will import all your GET variables.  Be aware that evil users may set extra variables you didn't expect, so be careful.

Also, note that if some of your forms use post instead of get, this won't get those too.  You might want to do

[code=php:0]extract($_REQUEST);[/code]


That will get you both get and post variables (and cookies too I think).

If you still get error, your server might not allow override controls.

thank u very much
i started to reread my code and started to add $_GET and search for every single variable and see it will be getted or posted and start to modify some pages
then i tried extract($_REQUEST); it works very well with post and get and save my time so thank you very much
