New subject: [Phpmyadmin-devel] Re: how to set variables from $_REQUEST

4 Jan 2006

Hi,

here is what I did in tbl_change.php:

/**
  * Sets global variables.
  * Here it's better to use a if, instead of the '?' operator
  * to avoid setting a variable to '' when it's not present in $_REQUEST
  */
if (isset($_REQUEST['pos'])) {
     $pos =  $_REQUEST['pos'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['session_max_rows'])) {
     $session_max_rows = $_REQUEST['session_max_rows'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['disp_direction'])) {
     $disp_direction = $_REQUEST['disp_direction'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['repeat_cells'])) {
     $repeat_cells = $_REQUEST['repeat_cells'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['dontlimitchars'])) {
     $dontlimitchars = $_REQUEST['dontlimitchars'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['primary_key'])) {
     $primary_key = $_REQUEST['primary_key'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['sql_query'])) {
     $sql_query = $_REQUEST['sql_query'];
}
-----------

I had to get variables from $_REQUEST to fix bug #1381856.

I think we'll have to do this everywhere, to avoid getting "undefined 
variable" errors when fetching something that might not be present in 
$_REQUEST.

Comments?
