To add to this, if register_globals is disabled by default, it is likely
that you're using a version of PHP that is recent enough to have $_POST.
So, you can use $_POST['foo'] instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS['foo']. Not only
is it shorter, I believe the older name is deprecated.

Yep I forgot to mention that it is off by default :). Hmmm nice to know that
there is shorter name :). Thanks for info, I haven't used PHP for long time.
