Yeah, lots of lazy coders out there (me included :). You can try something
like this at the top of your script to mimic register_globals if you don't
have access to your php.ini - keep in mind security risks:
if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
// mimic GPCS order
if ($_GET) extract($_GET);
if ($_POST) extract($_POST);
}
This doesn't 'register' cookie or session vars.
