WampServer

hello,

I just install WAMP server on my local computer and I got this error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _POST in C:\Program Files (x86)\wamp\www....

Is there any way to allow superglobal ?

Thanks

Please answer these questions so we know what you are using [forum.wampserver.com]

Also this sounds like a PHP coding issue and not a configuration problem. So please show the code that you are using, there is normally a filename and line number to identify the code that is causing a problem in the error message.

What?

I just want to know if it possible to allow superglobal ?

I would like to send variable to function with POST ...

That should work by default.

Thats what I mean this is very odd, and probably means you have something odd/wrong in the PHP code you are using, and not in the Apache/PHP configuration.

Why,
Everyone says that superglobal shouldn't work on the new PHP version. here:

[stackoverflow.com]

I want to allow superglobal . can it be done?

Hi,

As $_POST array is superglobal it is not permit to use it as parameter to a fonction.
This code is not allowed:

function my_function($_POST){
    if(is_array($_POST)){
....

This code works because $_POST is superglobal:

function my_function(){
    if(is_array($_POST)){
....

Since PHP 5.4, you cannot use a superglobal as the parameter to a function. This causes a fatal error:


But you can use a superglobal inside a function.

yeah, I know,
But it use to work on previous versions, and I ain't gonna change all my software because of that.

Thanks why I want to allow superglobal

Where can I get previous versions of WAMP ?

Well if you want your code to run on modern versions of PHP then it is going to have to be changed.

The fix is not a big deal

See [stackoverflow.com]
and [stackoverflow.com]


Other versions = [sourceforge.net]

Do you remember which version allow superglobal?

I am beginning to think that what you are actually asking, but dont know how to is :

My PHP code is OLD and was written to assumes that the PHP parameter register_globals is turned on.
This makes all the variables past in the $_POST and $_GET arrays automatically get created as PHP variables i.e.

If the $_POST array looked like this :-

array (
"id" => 1,
"firstname" => "Very"
"lastname" => "OldCode"
)

Then PHP would create 3 variables like so :-

$id = 1
$firstname = "Very"
$lastname = "OldCode"

and these are what my code uses.

-----------------------

Ok, if this is what you are asking then

register_globals was deprecated in PHP 5.3 and REMOVED as of PHP5.4


So if you dont want to change your old code you will have to run it on PHP5.3
The latest version of PHP5.3 is PHP5.3.29
