How do you convert your 3.0 hack to 3.5 ?
 

this is an example of what I'm doing:

because in 3.0 the varible is created automatically by globalize(), so I manually create the varible for vb3.5 (the above example). I'm just not sure if I should do so. Because the other ways it would take me more time to convert.

what is your opinions ?

Please see the HOW-TO section for 3.5

PS I don't understand your remark about 3.0 creating variables automatic, please provide examples.

He means the Variables created by globalize()

Well they sre still created, only part of an array now.

Yes, but that means the variable name in all the subsequent code is wrong - leaving you a choice of either doing the above and creating the variables, or changing that variable name in every occurance (search/replace is not always very safe for this). It's a major PITA and I'm not sure why they don't create the variable name anymore.

This is what I meant. but Paul what is your solution for this ? replace all old varibles with the new array ?

Yes, I do a confirmed search & replace atm, but that's because it's only on small hacks.

For a bigger one I'm looking to convert I'm considering writing a small function to call after calling the gpc cleanup, that converts everything in the gpc array to a variable as well.

I think (but could be wrong) that security is the reason for this construction.

When a script starts it will unset the whole array, making sure that no external source can insert values.

thanks for the answer, but is it ok if I use like the example in my first post ? or should it be 'reference' ?

else I would have to 'find and replace' +_+

Your method works, but personally I replaced variables with the GPC array reference instead of relying on globalize at all.
