Description

since PHP version 4.2.0 you can no longer pass variables from one page to the other with a form without using the super-global variables $_POST or$_GET.

These were introduced for security reasons, but it makes upgrading your old scripts a pain.

imagine having to go through all the files on your server, changing hundreds of variables...

with this script this problem is gone in no time.

Source Code

put following code
&lt;?<pre>
if ( phpversion() >="4.2.0") extract($_POST);
?>
</pre>
or if you're not sure where your variables come from
&lt;?<pre>
if ( phpversion() >= "4.2.0")
{
 extract($_POST);
 extract($_GET);
 extract($_SERVER);
 extract($_ENV);
 extract($_COOKIE);
}
?>
</pre>
on top of your old script
(or better put it in a file included in every page of your script)
and you're all set.
