Re: [Phplib-users] couple of questions

[Dennis G. <ge...@cv...>]

When a page is doing a login because the user filled in information on a
public/nobody page and is going to a private/login-required page, all
the cookie/get/post has to be saved into the session vars until login is
complete or not.

So getting rid of register_globals would require that circumstance, i.e.
loggin in, to :
	Save the http_referer
	Save the post/get/cookie vars
	Maybe save the whole CGI environment,
Do a login/registration
	Send the user back to the starting page, with variables intact
	send the user to the target page, with variables intact.

Is this a normal scenario, to save GPC vars, or just the global vars? If
just global vars, there has to be a way to store and retrieve GPC/CGI
vars, and restore them to the correct 'HTTP_*_VARS' or '_*' arrays. I'm
not even sure if those are writeable, which might make the point moot!
