too long

Question

I changed hosting service and when I try to enable register_globalsin PHP.inimy website behaves in a strange way. Each time I click on a page it downloads a page with this error:

Directive 'register_globals' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0

How can I enable register_globals directive? I know it is not sure but I should replace a lot of things

Answer 1

DON'T DO IT. There's a reason why this directive was removed. Source Using Register Globals

Warning This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

So wherever you had $magicalVariable, now you can do something like this:

• quick and dirty but not very safe: $magicalVariable = $_GET['magicalVariable']
• even better $magicalVariable = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'magicalVariable', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING)

Rule no.1: Never trust user input!
