$_GET

Hey..

I know that $_GET is the register global way and it's going to be deprecated.

What is the way that isn't register_global?

$HTTP_GET_VARS SUPER GLOBAL being deprecated too.

$_GET is a super global.

It is not being removed.. =\

Same with $_POST..

Nah your wrong caleb, $_POST, $_FILES, $_GET, $_REQUEST are all been removed, because applications don't need them or use them.

Yeah most applications don't use them.. and they're useless.. so bye bye to them :()\

So what is the alternative of $_GET ?

Is the message your putting across "Don't use it at all"

If $_POST, $_GET, $_FILE and $_REQUEST are all going, what are the alternatives?

We're just kidding.

$_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, etc are all super globals.. they're not leaving <3.

You see Caleb, i didn't believe you for a second :P

Why did the thread starter say that it is being deprecated then?

Because he doesn't understand the difference between register_globals and super globals.

How are you confused?

$_GET isn't leaving..

As Caleb said $_GET won't be getting removed as it's a super global.

And what exactly do you know about PHP?

EPIC JKS :D

Calon, you fail. When register_globals is turned on, say if you do:

PHP Code:

---

if($user == 'admin') { // I don't know why you'd do this, but it's an example. 


---

Somebody could append the URL with "&user=admin," thus activating admin stuff.

Therefore it can be very insecure. Superglobals are variables in PHP that hold data, (in arrays.. or objects(?) I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong), such as $_GET, $_FILES, $_SESSION, $_SERVER, $_POST, $_REQUEST, $GLOBALS, $_COOKIE, $_ENV and whatever else I haven't had enough coffee to mention.
