Re: [Mantisbt-help] Other variables

[Kenzaburo I. <ke...@30...>]

In addition to what Jeroen I'd like to add that I've added a way to extract 
the HTTP_POST and GET vars if you have register globals set to Off.  Just 
set g_register_globals to OFF as well.  It's a bit experimental as I 
haven't done extensive testing but it'll probably work alright.  If I don't 
find any serious issues I'll be making this the default behavior.

Thanks
