Hello all,
My shared server provider has register_global s on. I checked by running
php_info(); from within a file. I would like to turn this off, but
asking them to turn it off just for me will not work.
I tried adding the following lines to the .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_global s off
</IfModule>
but that did not work. I thought that maybe the file is called
something else, and I could not find any file containing mod_php
anywhere on the server. Also, I can see that the addmodule line for
mod_php4.c is commented out in the httpd.conf file for the shared
server.
I do not know how the server can serve php if that line is commented
out?
Bottom line is: is the .htaccess approach the correct one? and does
anyone know how I can find out if I am using the correct filename?
phpinfo() says that I have PHP Version 4.3.11
I will leave phpinfo() running on the main page so that if someone
needs more information, they can find it at linux-place.com
Thanks,
Ahmed El-Daly

put the following in the .htaccess file in the root of your main page:
php_flag register_global s off
php_flag safe_mode on
Options -Indexes

Use the ini_set() function to change the values of the variables.

alternatively you can upload your own php.ini to the root of your shared
web space.
PHP always checks for php.ini in the root of the document before it
checks elsewhere.

Yes, this did the trick! Thanks!!
setting php_flag register_global s off in the .htaccess file caused a
500 error for some reason!
Thanks to all that replied.

Possibly because PHP isn't being run as a module, but rather in CGI
mode... At least that might explain why mod_php4.c is commented out.
Another option is that it may not be an Apache server...

For the record, PHP's ini_set() function cannot be used to change the value
of register_global s at run-time. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.cor...gister-globals

It is an apache server for sure. In any case, putting php.ini in the
root folder is the best solution as I can tweak it as I please :D
This is what I did and it works flawlessly. Problem is is now it is
accessible to the www. Is there a way to put it somewhere else not
accessible by apache, but where php can read it?

Hi,
The CRM application said that need to add an option
"REGISTER_GLOBALS=On" to the php.ini file, so I did what it told.
But I still can't get rid off the following error:
The PHP variable "REGISTER_GLOBALS" is disabled (0). This is fatal.
Edit your php.ini and set REGISTER_GLOBALS to "On".
I changed the value "On" to "Yes", still getting the same error.

You'd think it'd be easier to find the answer to this question.
Did a search, and all I can find is people asking why something's not
working and people replying it's because register_globals is off.
I found one person said: "The change is for the better since
register_global turned to on had some grim security implications." but
no mentioning of what those are!

I just took over the website at work. I am still learning PHP.
Register_globals are on and the script appears to be coded to take
advantage of this. I know how to recode the script, but am unsure how
to turn them off when I am done. I have googled and came up with
placing
php_flag register_globals off
in the .htaccess file.

Hi...
It drives me nuts this server.
My php.ini says that register_globals is OFF and when I run phpinfo() it
says they are ON.
I restarted both httpd and the whole server still nothing.
IS there any other place that my php environment is set ?
It is a dedicated server.. so no shared environment.
If you had that before and you know the answer I'll be happy to listen/read

I'v been working on my scripts more that 5 months using Microfoft IIS on windows XP. As default the ( register_globals ) was ON ( php.ini ) and that means I didnt need to use ( $_request ) to get the variables from URL.

I understand that register_globals was turned off by default as, unless
you initialised it, it could be altered by a malicious coder.
What I don't understand is how the $_POST form is any more
secure. Surely Mr Malicious Coder can still just send his own version
of $_POST?
Obviously I'm missing something, I just can't figure out what!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
