Re: [cgiwrap-users] RE: CGIWrap's Lack Of Post Variables

[WSO S. <mai...@ws...>]

Also, you can get a lack of post variables depending on how
you have your php.ini configured. By default newer version of
PHP (CGI Version) have:

register_globals = Off

Depending on how a script is written, it may require this
setting to be On. If that is the case it will appear that the
post variable are being dropped.

The PHP people recommend not to use register_globals = On
anymore and to program using other methods. More info here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php

Hope this might help somebody out there. It tripped me up
for two days.
