conituation regarding register_global s

Hi guys, i have a small question regarding register_global s

I have managed to change the way my forms work so they will process
with register_global s turned off.

However i have one page which enables staff to "browse" by product,
which will list all products that begin with the letter they had
chosen.

On the return of this, i had previously used the results to form a
hyperlink to the product page, using the productcode as a reference
like this:

echo "<a href=product.ph p?product=" .$result['code']. ">" .
$result['name']. "</a>";

On the result page, i had it set out to check for form submission, and
if it wasnt, display the page searching for the product ( $product ),
if it couldnt find it return the page as item doesnt exist in the
database.

However, I am now unsure how to get the variables passed directly from
the link.
I have searched quite a lot over the last day, but not a lot of
information regarding non forms and register_global s. I am starting to
get the impression it may not be possible.

Hope someone tells me im wrong !!

Dave.

Hello. I am a newbie to PHP. I am over halfway through my first book that I'm learning with and have just created login pages etc. I just wondered, if I am running php/mysql/apache locally, should I be okay to turn register_globals on without any security issues? Thanks

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.

Hi all, I have installed a web-based software written in php which needs that i should turn "register_globals" from off to on in the php.ini. There are some comments for register_globals in php.ini saying: "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."

I'm new to session id variables. I'm trying to write records containing the session id to a log file but the session id keeps disappearing. I'm using session_register() because the site has register_globals = On (Hosted web site Php Version 4.3.3). If I work on my local Windows XP computer and I start up a browser window the first printf statement printf ("This is the SID = $szTmp01<br>"); results in: This is the SID =

I am newish to PHP and wish to create an authentication system where a new user is required to validate/complete their sign-up by clicking a link in an email. I am probably capable of putting something together where the user gets sent a link with a set of values but I am sure it would require "register_globals" set to ON. How is this achieved with "register_globals" set to OFF?

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'm working on a server now, with a couple hundred PHP pages someone has...

Hi. I am just learning PHP. I'm taking over the website at work, which is coded in PHP. I am wondering about register_globals. They are on on the server we use. Is that a threat? I understand I may have to recode if I turn them off, but is there a simple way to turn them off and see if the code still works? Thanks, Peter

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.
