ugh and register_globals..

[phpman]

so tell me hobo, if globals doesn't make a difference than why for the post

ok, my local system doesn't have register_globals on, but my web host does.. is there any simple line of code that i can put at the top of my config scripts that will turn it off? it's making an entire website of mine not work correctly

explain that to me??? hence you can't you $_POST on a site that globals are on.... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

but to fix the problem you could do soemthing like this

foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $val) {
      $$key = $val;
  }

OR

foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $val) {
      $_POST['$key'] = $val;
  } 

will allow you to use the regular variables if you don't want to replace your code. you can do the same for cookies too I believe.
