register_globals is disabled

[angelsRock]

hi i have the following error..

 

Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory.

 

the hosting server register_globals is set to be "off"..

so i cant change that to be off..

so what should i do to the code.. because this code is soomeone bought it from UK..impossible for me to change all the coding...

 

pls advice asap... haha.

ask your host to turn it on or remove it?

[angelsRock]

i have not ask them yet... but if they were to turn on.. then surely affect their security...i got the hosting from www.hostmonster.com

whta can i do.. ? haahhaa.. die..

[darkfreaks]

you could remove the register global function from all your pages and then see what happens. and go from there?

[darkfreaks]

actually you need to open up your .htaccess file and do a mod rewrite to allow register globals

that should do the trick

A small clarification - mod_rewrite is the mechanism for rewriting and redirecting urls, which is often done in .htaccess.  Disabling register_globals isn't related to mod_rewrite, although it can be done in the same file.

if you are using a script which requires register_globals then either upgrade the script (if one is available) or look for similar script which does not require this setting.

If you have basic php knowledge, you can find an appropriate place (or places) to add code that simulates register_globals.  The code will look something like this:

 

<?php
foreach($_ENV AS $key => $value) {
    ${$key} = $value;
}

foreach($_GET AS $key => $value) {
    ${$key} = $value;
}

foreach($_POST AS $key => $value) {
    ${$key} = $value;
}

foreach($_COOKIE AS $key => $value) {
    ${$key} = $value;
}

foreach($_SERVER AS $key => $value) {
    ${$key} = $value;
}?>

 

Or you could post in freelancing and ask someone to fix the script for you.  The first option though would be to get your script provider to fix it.  Requiring register_globals is frowned upon by modern php programmers.
