Hello. I've been reading in a book about simple PHP Post data using forms but it needs Register_Globals to be on. I've read online that this is a security risk. Are there any other ways of transmitting data using POST? Thanks.

yes, it is a security issue

the only difference is the way you get at the data

instead of having them be $firstname you would access it as $_POST['firstname']
