Democreous Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I've been trying to get PHP5 to work for about 4 hours now. I've been in and out of .ini files, config files, and all other types I've never heard of before and I'm lost.Mostly I have two problems that pop out.1. I can't use [b]<?[/b] for beginning my php code, instead I have to use [b]<?php[/b] . I don't wan't to have to change all my old code. I've tried turning the short version on, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.2. None of my variables get passed onto different pages. For example, I usuall would use[code]<a href="http://whatever.com/some.php?variable=notworking">click</a>[/code]and retrieve the variable "variable" with the value "notworking" on some.php, the same page the variable was sent from, but it won't pass the vars. I mostly just use this for if/else statements. I tried turning globals on, but I'm not really sure if that will help, or if I even did it correctly.2.5 I'd like to be able to turn on errors also.If anyone knows how to do this, please help. I know it's probably easy as hell to everyone, but I'm pulling my hair out over this.Thanks, - Brian :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34820--/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 The be able to use "<?" instead of "<?php" you need to turn on short tags. The other "problem" is that you're used to register_globals being enabled. As of about 3 years ago the default was changed to disabled for this parameter. This is also in the php.ini file. After changing this file you have to restart your webserver process.Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34820--/#findComment-164126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Democreous Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks, but I've been doing that for hours.I have the tagsshort_open_tag = Onandregister_globals = OnI'm wondering if I'm using the wrong file. I updated this into php.ini-dist, then also copied that file, and renamed it simply php.ini. Nothing works. Even after restarting Apache.

kevinkorb Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 from root../usr/sbin/./updatedbthenlocate php.iniIt will show you where your php.ini files are.. you may be fixing a wrong one.If you installed Zend Optimizer it re-locates your php.ini file.
