php3 and php Variable Difference
php
Solution
register_globals is probably on for PHP 3 and off in your newer PHP version (as it should be)
Problem
I am working on converting some ancient .php3 code. While running the ancient .php3 version on the ancient box everything works fine. When I click the rewrite button it enters the rewrite if block. .php3 ``` <? if($rewrite) { //here is therewrite code } <input class="smButton" type="submit" name="rewrite" value="Save Changes"> ``` .php ``` <?php if($rewrite) { //here is therewrite code } <input class="smButton" type="submit" name="rewrite" value="Save Changes"> ``` Is there something obvious that I am missing? Something in the .php3 version sets the rewrite variable but in the new version it isn't set unless I manually set it at the top of the .php file. Hopefully this is enough code. I am just wondering what could cause such different behaviors between the 2 versions.
