Regsiter Globals no longer used?

Post by kendo451 »

I was upgrading to the latest version of CMSMS (1.5.3) and I noticed that the "Recommended Settings" checklist now has "Register Globals Off" as checked with a green check.

I am just curious which version stopped requiring Register Globals to be on, and what this means for module developers.  Do all modules/tags that used Register Globals have to be updated to not use this anymore?

Thanks,
Ken

Register globals has always caused more problems than it's worth.  IMHO it was a bad idea probably put in mistakenly by some developer that had a hangover or something and was trying to solve a particular problem.  Never a good idea. 

and I've NEVER (in 4+years working with CMS) had it on.

does that answer your question?
