List of changed var/array/function names

[noppid]

Very good explainations, thanks.

When using something like this for an example:

PHP Code:

$db->query_write("UPDATE thread SET open = '0' WHERE threadid <= 99"); 


That obviously will close a threadID 99. My question is. Do we have to use the TABLE_PREFIX before we define the table to update?

What's the reason for changing the $_GET, $_POST, etc.? Is there any benefit to using the new versions?

I found $db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . " in vB 3.5.0 code, so I'd guess yes.

Absolutely. You'd be surprised how many older hacks still use these variables without checking them.

Then again, as far as I can see theres nothing stopping a lazy coder from just using the superglobals.

Ah, ok. So what does this class actually do to the variables? Is it basically a replacement for globalize()?

Basicly yes

In 3.0.7 I put this code in phpinclude_start:

PHP Code:

$buddyarray = explode(' ', $bbuserinfo['buddylist']); 


And referenced that array using $GLOBALS['buddyarray'] in the templates.

In 3.5 I made a global_start plugin using this code:

PHP Code:

$buddyarray = explode(' ', $vbulletin->userinfo['buddylist']); 


But $GLOBALS['buddyarray'] doesn't seem to work.

Also the u=$userinfo[userid] doesn't seem to work in the postbit either. :ermm:
