Actually that's just the default. As per http://www.php.net/manual/tw/configuration.directives.php#ini.register-globals it is still possible to configure PHP to register global variables such as $HTTP_POST_VARS['var'] as root level global variables, where your above example would render $Var_2 == "value2". This is a directive set in the php.ini file, and frequently required for reverse compatibility. Setting register_globals to false in php.ini will circumvent many such attacks, though it may break some scripts. The fact that it now defaults to false will hopefully keep developers using $_POST, $_GET, $HTTP_POST_VARS, and $HTTP_GET_VARS, which is far more secure.Hello MGHz,In new versions of PHP (PHP 4.2.3 and higher) for reception of values transmitted to the form it's necessary to write: $Variable = $HTTP_GET_VARS ['var']; // Request Method - GET or $Variable = $HTTP_POST_VARS ['var']; // Request Method - POST // example: http://host.com/script.php?var1=value1&var2=value2 $Var_1 = $HTTP_GET_VARS['var1']; $Var_2 = $var2; // $Var_1 == "value1" // $Var_2 == "" Messer.
