register Globals

[anwoke8204]

Hi I am trying to install a script on my website, and it says it needs register globals enabled, and that I can do via php.ini or .htaccess file, how do I do it via the htaccess file, as that is the way I would prefer to do it.

Code: Select all

php_value register_globals 1

sorry I new to this, do I add that to the .htaccess file(and if so how do I do that), or is that in the php.ini file.

This for a .htaccess file.

Open your text editor and copy/paste the above snippet into the page.
Save the file as .htaccess into the root web directory of your site that is going to serve the script.
Example only:
xampp/htdocs/yoursite/.htaccess

Sort of smart ass reply one would expect from an lame AOLer.


It is different in the xampp\apache\bin\php.ini file:

; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
; register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead
; to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.
;register_globals = Off (the default)
register_globals = On
