And there's the issue.
In your old system, you probably had something called
"register_globals" enabled.
Please read http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php

Really?
How does the blind via readers, such as JAWS, understand what a <B> is?
First, never use <B> -- or <I> for that matter.
Second, use <strong> or <em> instead. Readers can understand and
render STRONG and EMPHASIZED text, but not <B> and <I> text -- those
tags mean nothing and that's the reason why they are not encouraged
for use and even removed from XHTML.
Third, if neither of those tags (i.e., <strong> or <em> ) work for
you, they try using a class (or an id) with a css rule of:
.whatever
{
font-weight: bold;
}
or
#whatever
{
font-weight: bold;
}
Cheers,
tedd

Hello tedd,
I'm standing up and applauding you.
Really, I'm... quite touched. There are too few people that care about
us, I mean, JAWS users. Of course, we, my wife and I, develop accessible
websites
ourselves but... there is lots of inaccessible stuff out there.

Tedd, it seems like you are spreading a little bit of mis-information here.
* <i> — was italic, now for text in an “alternate voice,” such as
foreign words, technical terms and typographically italicized text
* <b> — was bold, now for “stylistically offset” text, such as
keywords and typographically emboldened text (W3C:Markup, WHATWG)
* <em> — was emphasis, now for stress emphasis, i.e., something you’d
pronounce differently (W3C:Markup, WHATWG)
* <strong> — was for stronger emphasis, now for strong importance,
basically the same thing (stronger emphasis or importance is now
indicated by nesting) (W3C:Markup, WHATWG)
– http://html5doctor.com/i-b-em-strong-element/
Seems to me the original posted just wanted to "stylistically offset"
or "bold" the last name... I dunno, maybe I am wrong, but here's no
good reason to stress "stronger" emphasis on the last name.
There's a time and a place and a reason to use one over the other.
Also, I don't think <b> and <i> have been removed from XHTML... In
fact, they are not even deprecated in XHTML.
Ok, getting off of my soapbox now. :D

If you are only make the last name bold for stylistic purposes you should use
CSS and a class. If you have text that needs to be <em>phasized or <strong>ly
put use the appropriate tags.

Hrmm, I personally don't think there is anything wrong with <b> in this case.
Span tag, or whatever (with a class, optionally, or however you prefer
to mark things up), would work too... but, IMHO, there is absolutely
nothing wrong with <b>.
To each their own I guess. :)

Anyone else notice PHP throwing Warning and Notices even when display errors
and error reporting disabled?
I compiled PHP with the following:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php-5.3.3' '--enable-cli' '--disable-debug'
'--disable-rpath' '--disable-static' '--with-pic' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--enab
le-bcmath' '--with-bz2' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ctype' '--with-curl'
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-xsl' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd'
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' '-

'--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php-5.3.3/etc' '--with-pdo-mysql=/u
sr/local/mysql-5.1.49' '--with-openssl=/usr'
I have also set the following:
display_errors => Off => Off
display_startup_errors => Off => Off
error_append_string => no value => no value
error_log => no value => no value
error_prepend_string => no value => no value
error_reporting => 0 => 0
But i continue to receive Strict/Notice and Warnings in code that i wish to be
hidden.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
