For now you can add this to the top of your scripts:
$types_to_register = array('GET','POST','COOKIE','SESSION','SERVER');
foreach ($types_to_register as $type) {
$arr = @${'HTTP_' . $type . '_VARS'};
if (@count($arr) > 0) {
extract($arr, EXTR_OVERWRITE);
}
}
Somebody else posted this a few weeks back and it has worked for me until I
can convert everything over...
