Today we upgraded php from 4.4.7 to 5.2.5

First thing i notice it's i have some scripts that i link like:

http://mysite.com/script.php?action=show

and it would show lets say the users in a database, inside the script it would be like:

Quote:

<?php
if ($action == "show") {
mysql_connect("localhost", " etc etc etc
die;
}
echo "hello world";
?>

But now the script just go directly to hello world when called like:
http://mysite.com/script.php?action=show

please help so i could update them.

thanks.

register_globals is set to off in your php.ini, as well as it should, for XSS attacks... instead of
if($action = "show") use

PHP Code:

 if(isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == "show") { ... your db-stuff ... } 


read the docs and the migration info on www.php.net to get your scripts to work with minimal extra work.
