Answer 1

I wrote this replacement. It works for me. I hope it helps you. for example this URL : test.php?z=1

import_request_variables("gp",'abc_');
echo $abc_z; // 1
function import_request_variables($g,$prfix)
{
    foreach($_GET as $k => $v)
    {
        $v_name = $prfix.$k;
        global $$v_name;
        ${$prfix.$k} = $v;
    }
    foreach($_POST as $k => $v)
    {
        $v_name = $prfix.$k;
        global $$v_name;
        ${$prfix.$k} = $v;
    }
}

Answer 2

I had this problem from before, the work around that i did to fix it i replaced code before with code after that I've written below, so don't use import_request_variables it is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and in PHP 5.4 is removed as it is described in here http://uk3.php.net/import_request_variables, the following is the fix for the problem that i had:

Code Before:

import_request_variables('p');

Code After (Replaced the code above with the code below):

extract($_GET, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'p');
extract($_POST, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'p');
