[geeklog-devel] Pushing GL1 into regester_globals=off

[Blaine Lang]

We could also add something like this at the top of each program or  in to
COM_siteHeader

// register_globals cheat code
//HTTP_GET_VARS
while (list($key, $val) = @each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
       $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
}
//HTTP_POST_VARS
while (list($key, $val) = @each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
       $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
}
