[KLUG Members] Meeting 2003-04-29 - Script-O-Mania: Whats New With PHP

[members@kalamazoolinux.org]

The first thing that attracts many people to PHP is its ability to
handle data from the web. GET and POST variables are today's duct tape
and bailing wire that can fix almost anything. Tie those with a database
back end and the thing runs amazingly well. But, several issues came up
that necessitated a change in the way PHP handles variables. Have you
heard of "superglobals" yet? If you're using a newer version of PHP you
may be tempted to just "turn them back on." Don't. Or, at least, Don't
Yet. We'll be talking about what PHP does, what issues came up, how PHP
decided to handle them and how you can handle them too. Then you can
turn superglobals on selectively when you need them, and keep on cooking
with PHP.
