Register Globals and Submit Buttons

[Mark]

We have developed an application with register_globals "On" and are
now trying to convert it to run under "Off".

I understand that a text field previously referred to as txtText must
now be referred to as $_POST['txtText'].

The problem we are hitting is with the PHP code that runs when a
submit button is clicked. The application currently looks like this:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="cmdButton">
<input type="text" name="txtText" size="20" value="testing">

<?php

if ($cmdButton)
{
echo "Text Value: ".$_POST['txtText'];
}

?>

This works great with register_globals "On", but when "Off", it is not
invoked when the button is clicked.

Any suggestions?

Exactly the same applies. $cmdButton becomes $_POST['cmdButton'].

if($_POST['cmdButton'])
{
echo "Text Value: ".$_POST['txtText'];
}

or am I missing something?

Also, to avoid a notice it should be isset($_POST['cmdButton'])

Guess what? This refers to all the other variables you get from
a page, too.

$_POST['cmdButton']
