Parameters: Register Globals off
Starting with version 4.4.x, register_globals is turned off in PHP. This means that a PHP script can no longer access information transferred from forms as GET or POST data through global variables.
The transferred data is accessed through arrays. This means that variables that were sent through GET are accessible with $_GET["variablesName"]. POST data corresponding with $_POST["variablesName"].
These updates serve to increase security and structure in PHP scripts, and existing scripts can easily be adapted for these changes as illustrated in the following example.
Before:
$text = $test;
echo $text;
?>
Ausgabe: Nachricht
After:
$test = $_GET["test"];
$text = $test;
echo $text;
?>
Ausgabe: Nachricht
Runtime configuration
With the update to the PHP version 5.3.22, there is a new limit for the maximum number of fields with a POST request, which is now 1,000. These values can be manually changed through an individual php.ini file by entering, for example, the value max_input_vars = 2000.
