Initializing Variables

[Trium918]

Building User Authentication and Personalization

 

In this case I have multiple forms where the user will

have to enter data. I was wonder since register_global =Off

what would a good idea to initialize all variables associate with

each script.

[Trium918]

Should I do something like this.

 

<?
  // data_valid_fns.php

  // I can include this file in all my files
  // this way, every file will contain all my functions
  require_once("initialize_variables.php"); 
?>

<?
// data_vaild_fns.php
require_once("data_valid_fns.php"); 

username = $_POST['username'];
passwd = $_POST['passwd'];
passwd2 = $_POST['passwd'];
email = $_POST['email'];

?>

you dont have to split the require_once() into 2 diff php tags tho and you should use $ infront of the variables =) but i guess u allready know that... just wanted to point it out just in case

require_once is in two different files not tags.

 

require_once("data_valid_fns.php");  would be the

main file that connects every variable to all of the

other files.

Would it be a good idea to do it

this way?

[Trium918]

Is it safe to initialize variables like this?

Nothing wrong with it all as long as you do initialize them.
