What alternative methods can be used to pass variables in PHP scripts without relying on register_globals?
When register_globals is disabled, variables cannot be accessed directly through the global scope in PHP scripts. To pass variables without relying on register_globals, you can use superglobal arrays such as $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, or $_COOKIE to access and manipulate data.
// Example of passing variables using $_GET
$var1 = $_GET['var1'];
$var2 = $_GET['var2'];
// Example of passing variables using $_POST
$var1 = $_POST['var1'];
$var2 = $_POST['var2'];
// Example of passing variables using $_SESSION
session_start();
$_SESSION['var1'] = $var1;
// Example of passing variables using $_COOKIE
setcookie('var1', $var1, time() + 3600, '/');
