The import_request_variables() function became available
in PHP 4.1.0 so you have an older version then this (which
is a bad idea!), consider upgrading. The manual has version
information, and phpinfo() tells all (including the PHP
version you're using).
Also, your code is *essentially* a runtime version of the much
hated register_globals PHP directive so you have the following
options to mimick the above behavior:
1) Upgrade PHP! (preferred)
2) Turn on register_globals in php.ini or .htaccess
3) Use extract() on various $HTTP_*_VARS variables
Ideally you'd upgrade PHP and use either the superglobals
and/or use import_requests_variables() by using its second
parameter, something like:
import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');
echo $r_somevariable;
Adding the prefix is a good idea here as you will KNOW these
variables came via the REQUEST as opposed to being
somewhere from within your script. Why do you want to
know this? Read:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
So in short you really should upgrade PHP and then use these
request variables as explained here:
