Didn't vb2 have protection on this as well? [/B]

vB2 automatically registered globals. With vB3 if register_globals is set too off then you need to use either the globalise function or $_POST['var'] $_GET['var'] or $_REQUEST['var'] too have access to the variable.

PHP is the only programming lanuage I can write anything usefull in, and thats thanks to vB and messing around with hacks.

I've manage to be able to port all the hacks I want from vB2 to vB3 as well as create the new ones I want. Taking time to look at the code and work out what it does is well worth it IMO. You can learn so much from "Playing" with hacks. Before vB I couldn't have even told you what PHP was other than an exenstion I'd seen in some urls
