upgrading scripts to new PHP

[Musicman]

Hi,

as you may know, new PHP (4.1 and later) does no longer make all incoming vriables global, as a security enhancements.
Now, this code snippet should help since it does the work and at the same time documents which vars are expected:
// variables that might come in via querystring
$get_vars = array("action");
// variables that might come in via post
$post_vars = array("user", "password", "email");
// the actual code
foreach ($get_vars as $v)
 if(isset($_GET[$v]))
   $$v = $_GET[$v];
foreach($post_vars as $v)
 if(isset($_POST[$v]))
   $$v = $_POST[$v];

You still hve to identify those vars first, unless the script was nicely documented already
