Just want you all to feel sorry for me for a second.
Once upon a time, in the days of PHP3, someone coded a site (ok, it was me).
Besides being a poster child for some of the world's worst practices, this
code presumes register_globals and does a lot of other long-deprecated
things. At long last, I am migrating to a new host and updating to PHP5.
And discovering, for example, that there's no such thing as HTTP_POST_VARS
any more. I am also introducing a nifty new language construct knowns as
'foreach.' Gonna to be doing a lot of grepping and perl -i -p -e '/bad
code/good code/g' today.
End of whine.
