Tightening up PHP

Write Secure Scripts with PHP 4.2. WebmasterBase: “For the longest time, one of the biggest selling points of PHP as a server-side scripting language was that values submitted from a form were automatically created as global variables for you. As of PHP 4.1, the makers of PHP recommended an alternate means of accessing submitted data. In PHP 4.2, they switched off the old way of doing things! As I’ll explain in this article, these changes have been made in the name of security.” [ranchero.com]
