[Mediawiki-l] globals and superglobals

Sat Jan 7 18:35:09 UTC 2006

Hello all,

1) I need to access a cookie in monobook.php (mediawiki1.5)
I tried with $_COOKIE and $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS (with globals declaration)
but nothing worked

2) the famous captcha system seem not to be able to access $_SESSION

I guess this restrictions are for security reasons.

 Can one of the founder give a simple explanation on the change about
the  superglobals in mediawiki, and/or give a solution to access to
these variables.

Thank you for your work on MW
