IMPORT_REQUEST_VARIABLES(3)						 1					       IMPORT_REQUEST_VARIABLES(3)

import_request_variables - Import GET/POST/Cookie variables into the global scope

SYNOPSIS

       bool import_request_variables (string  $types, [string  $prefix])

DESCRIPTION

	Imports  GET/POST/Cookie  variables into the global scope. It is useful if you disabled register_globals, but would like to see some vari-
       ables in the global scope.

	If you're interested in importing other variables into the global scope, such as $_SERVER, consider using extract(3).

       Warning

	      This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

PARAMETERS

	      o $types
		- Using the $types parameter, you can specify which request variables to import. You can use 'G', 'P' and 'C'  characters  respec-
		tively for GET, POST and Cookie. These characters are not case sensitive, so you can also use any combination of 'g', 'p' and 'c'.
		POST includes the POST uploaded file information.

	      Note

		      Note that the order of the letters matters, as when using " GP", the POST variables will overwrite GET  variables  with  the
		     same name. Any other letters than GPC are discarded.

	      o $prefix
		-  Variable  name  prefix, prepended before all variable's name imported into the global scope. So if you have a GET value named "
		userid", and provide a prefix " pref_", then you'll get a global variable named $pref_userid.

	      Note

		      Although the $prefix parameter is optional, you will get an E_NOTICE level error if you specify no  prefix,  or  specify	an
		     empty  string  as a prefix. This is a possible security hazard. Notice level errors are not displayed using the default error
		     reporting level.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      import_request_variables(3) example

	      <?php
	      // This will import GET and POST vars
	      // with an "rvar_" prefix
	      import_request_variables("gp", "rvar_");

	      echo $rvar_foo;
	      ?>

stream_context_get_default - Retrieve the default stream context

SYNOPSIS

       resource stream_context_get_default ([array  $options])

DESCRIPTION

	Returns  the  default  stream context which is used whenever file operations (fopen(3), file_get_contents(3), etc...) are called without a
       context parameter. Options for the default context can optionally be specified with this function using	the  same  syntax  as  stream_con-
       text_create(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $options
		-$options must be an associative array of associative arrays in the format $arr['wrapper']['option'] = $value.

	      Note

		      As of PHP 5.3.0, the stream_context_set_default(3) function can be used to set the default context.

RETURN VALUES

	A stream context resource.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Using stream_context_get_default(3)

	      <?php
	      $default_opts = array(
		'http'=>array(
		  'method'=>"GET",
		  'header'=>"Accept-language: en
" .
			    "Cookie: foo=bar",
		  'proxy'=>"tcp://10.54.1.39:8000"
		)
	      );

	      $alternate_opts = array(
		'http'=>array(
		  'method'=>"POST",
		  'header'=>"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
" .
			    "Content-length: " . strlen("baz=bomb"),
		  'content'=>"baz=bomb"
		)
	      );

	      $default = stream_context_get_default($default_opts);
	      $alternate = stream_context_create($alternate_opts);

	      /* Sends a regular GET request to proxy server at 10.54.1.39
	       * For www.example.com using context options specified in $default_opts
	       */
	      readfile('http://www.example.com');

	      /* Sends a POST request directly to www.example.com
	       * Using context options specified in $alternate_opts
	       */
	      readfile('http://www.example.com', false, $alternate);

	      ?>
