[How-To] Use $_GET with phpfreechat

[Ormin]

Hi!

I had a problem of using $_GET in inframe with phpfreechat and i traced down the issue a bit. I believe this has something to do with PHP management of memory.

But whatever, there's code which worked for me ( unset($params) is for security ). Put this on header:

Code: Select all


extract($_GET);
unset($params);



Then if you want to access some variable from $_GET without crash, you use the & operator, so if you let's say want to access original $_GET['username'], you do:

Code: Select all

$new_username = &$username;


This also applies for PHP5!!!

enjoy this fine release

That's all well and good, but using GET is still not recommended. The problem is that the chat will lose site of those variables after the first round. Many of the parameters are adversely affected by this.
