[Cialug] Slightly OT: register_globals in PHP & sessions

[Bailey, Jonathan C]

I need the register globals on for the bad practices of others.. I just
don't want variables like $_SESSION["whatever"] to get registered as
$whatever. I want session variables to stay in $_SESSION.

You should turn register globals off, its not a "best practice".

Get your post/get variables using the $_POST[variable] or
$_GET[variable]

For your session varaible, I'm assuming you registered "whatever" by
doing a "session_register("whatever");" on your homepage.

At the beginning of your script that wants access to the session
variable be sure you do a session_start();

it would look like this:
<?
session_start()

$_SESSION[whatever] =3D "value";

?>

just $whatever. How do I get it to make get/post as global, but access
sessions through $_SESSION?
