For each variable that it says is "Undefined" and/or which is coming from
POST, simply global search and replace:
$foo -> $_POST['foo']
If it's embedded in a "string$foo" you want "string$_POST[foo]"
Note that doing import($_POST) is strictly an emergency measure which
completely defeats the purpose of register_globals OFF in the first place.
You can do it for a few hours, days before you fix it for real, as above.
