Turning on global_registers - tearing my hair out!

[screamager123]

Hi in FAQ 3 it says to use .htaccess. I changed .htaccess in www folder to

php_value register_globals 0 (was set to php_value register_globals 1)

did nothing.

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks!

Hi,

are you running a VPS, Reseller or Dedicated Server? If you are running a VPS / Dedicated Server try restarting it via WHM, see if that works.

I thought I had sorted it... I need them on... Ive tried the .htaccess to enable them but still no luck.. Can they be turned on?

Its "On" now. Please open a ticket for support team if you wish to have it resolved in less time.

Thank you,

No reason to turn them on! why would you want to have scripts that can't cope with register_globals OFF???.

Why don't you get upto date and stop using 'shorthand coding ' scripts!

No reason to exclaim this to him, he might want them on for personal / private use.

Show me an example!

[screamager123]

What has it got to do with you jon? If you must know i was testing a oscommerce template. Before bothering to modify it to work with globals off i wanted to see if it worked... is that ok Jon?

[jon123]

Well whether you want them on or not I couldn't give a shi*t, just trying to help by offering a suggestion by saying all php scripts have to be written with consideration of $globals being set as 'off'.

I use oscommerce and as far as |I am aware all is geared up for globals off...but what do I know!!!!
