// CLIENT GLOBAL FUNCTION TO PARSE $_SESSION IF 'tempIDArray' IS SET
function parseTempIDArraySession() {
$tempIDArray = $_SESSION['tempIDArray'];
$_GET = $_SESSION[$_GET['tempID']]; // RESET $_GET WITH SESSION ARRAY
get_to_post(); // $_POST = $_GET
foreach ($tempIDArray as $tempID) unset($_SESSION[$tempID]);
print_r("POST: "); print_r($_POST); print_r("<P>");
extract($_POST, EXTR_SKIP);
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) $GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
unset($_SESSION['tempIDArray']);
}

This function will take everything out of $_SESSION[$tempID] and put
it into $_GET and then into $_POST. Then it will take everything out
of $_POST and make everything global whether register_globals is on or
off.
It doesn't work, surprise surprise.
In fact, all that doesn't work is the part whereby everything that
eventually winds up in $_POST is never global. Once you leave the
function all the variables vanish.
I am having to do this elaborate methodology because I have a
requirement to do a file/database action upon a query string while
keeping the query string secure; therefore, the key=val pairs normally
found in the query string are in a $_SESSION variable. So ultimately
I have to extract everything from that session variable and put it to
an autoglobal that my server-side validation and action classes can
use: $_POST (it *only* uses $_POST and no other autoglobal!). I can
actually get it so that it reads $_POST, but I need to get the global
value for each key in $_POST available once again because of the fact
that a class method must have at least one value: $refAction, and
$GLOBALS['refAction'] does not even work!
