ArtioSEF Component Pollutes global scope with $debug=true

We are recieving a lot of reports that the Artio SEF Component causes Phil-A-Form to display debug information to the screen above forms.

We have fully investigated this and we are happy to report that the latest version of Phil-A-Form resolves the issue caused by the Artio SEF component. In technical terms, the Artio component is setting the PHP Variable $debug to “true” in the global scope, this is being picked up by Phil-A-Form from the global scope and thus Phil-A-Form displays debug information.

If you are suffering from this, please upgrade to the latest version of Phil-A-Form, or contact the developer of ArtioSEF and request that he removes the $debug=true in the global scope to avoid polluting the scope for other components.
