The above is a creative way around using superglobals, but I recommend
that you start learning PHP using them. An excellent, if somewhat easy,
challenge will be to take any of the PHP books (every single one I've
seen has used the deprecated register_globals=on method), use it to
learn PHP, and simultaneously use the appropriate superglobal prefix for
the variables. Thus, when the PHP book discusses making a GET method
form or including vars on the querystring in a href attribute, make sure
that in the "receiving" script you use $_GET['varname'] instead of
$varname (as the book will no doubt use). Same for $_COOKIE, $_SERVER,
$_SESSION, $_SERVER (read the man page for this one), and $_POST.
