Register_globals ON --> OFF

[News]

All,
I have some code that works just fine when register_global s is on, however,
for obvious reasons, I am trying to rework the code so that I can disable
register_global s.

I have set my error_reporting to E_ALL, and am logging it to a file so that
I can review it.
Are there any "steps" to take in successfully updating the code ? Or do I
just run each and every page looking for errors ?

Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Register_global s ON --> OFF

Here's an utterly insane way of fixing globals:

<?

function fix_globals($er rno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
$code = file($errfile);
$line = $code[$errline - 1];
if(preg_match('/Undefined variable:\s+(\w +)/', $errstr, $matches)) {
$varname =$matches[1];
if(array_key_ex ists($varname, $_GET)) {
$new_line = preg_replace("/\\\$$varname/", "\$_GET['$varname']", $line);
}
else if(array_key_ex ists($varname, $_POST)) {
$new_line = preg_replace("/\\\$$varname(?! \w)/", "\$_POST['$varname']",
$line);
}
else if(array_key_ex ists($varname, $_SERVER)) {
$new_line = preg_replace("/\\\$$varname(?! \w)/", "\$_SERVER['$varname']",
$line);
}
}
if($new_line) {
$code[$errline - 1] = $new_line;
if($f = fopen($errfile, "w")) {
fwrite($f, implode('', $code));
fclose($f);
header("HTTP/1.0 307 Temporary Redirect");
header("Locatio n:
http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}");
exit(0);
}
}
}

ob_start();
set_error_handl er('fix_globals ');

.....

?>

Yup, the code fixes itself!
