Turn on variables from URL

[andnos]

Hi,
how do make it so that I don't have to use the global $_GET $_POST or $_REQUEST, but that the variables would be automatically created.

Thanks

Hi

If you have PHP 5 or older, by setting [tt]register_globals[/tt] to [tt]on[/tt] in php.ini.

If you have PHP 6, there is no way.

[!]Do not set [tt]register_globals[/tt] to [tt]on[/tt].[/!]
Or at least not before reading "Using Register Globals".

at the least, consider using extract() instead and restricting the input only to those superglobals that you really need. there are a number of switches available to extract that might well save your proverbial hide
