    Hi,
    I have a script and it is using $username instead of $_POST['username']
    Now, it doesn't work.
    What can I do to make it work?(Except edit the whole script manually)
    Already thanks,
    Raf

    Set register_globals to 'on' in your php.ini file or .htaccess file.

    But before doing so, please, for your own sake, do a little Googling to understand the security issues in doing what you're doing...

    It seems register_globals is off, you need to turn it on.
    But I would recommend to not rely on this variable and use $_GET, $_POST and so on..

    or use a foreach to loop through $_GET and/or $_POST to change them.

    Peace,
