# PHP import_request_variables() Function [PHP Available Functions](#) The **import_request_variables()** function imports GET/POST/Cookie variables into the global scope. **This function is no longer supported in the latest versions of PHP.** The **import_request_variables()** function imports GET/POST/Cookie variables into the global scope. If you have disabled register_globals but still want to use some global variables, this function is very useful. Version Requirement: PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5 < 5.4.0 ### Syntax bool import_request_variables ( string $types [, string $prefix ] ) Parameter Description: * **$types**: Specifies the variables to import. You can use the letters G, P, and C to represent GET, POST, and Cookie, respectively. These letters are case-insensitive, so you can use any combination of g, p, and c. POST includes file information uploaded via the POST method. Note the order of these letters; when using gp, POST variables will overwrite GET variables with the same name. Any letters other than GPC will be ignored. * **$prefix**: The prefix for variable names, placed before all variables imported into the global scope. So if you have a GET variable named userid and provide pref_ as the prefix, you will get a global variable named $pref_userid. Although the prefix parameter is optional, if you do not specify a prefix or specify an empty string as the prefix, you will get an E_NOTICE level error. ### Return Value None. ### Example ## Example [PHP Available Functions](#)
