The ones that only exist if register_globals is on are the deprecated =

ones, as using register_globals (which itself is deprecated for PHP5) is=
=

such a large security hazard. They are deprecated (i.e. advised against)=
=

in PHP5 and will not exist at all in PHP6 when the ability to use =

register_globals is removed.

The $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST variables are superglobals, and so are =

available in any scope (e.g. inside functions, objects, etc.) without =

needing to declare them as global.
