register_globals

[Samuel Shulman]

I keep getting the
'FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!'
error

I changes that settings and I still get this error

What should I do next?

Thank you,
Samuel

This error message comes from some software written in PHP that you are
trying to run; it is not part of PHP. Maybe the software isn't testing
properly? Maybe you have disabled register_globals in httpd.conf or
..htaccess?

No, never enable register_globals. Bad, Bad, Bad. Something else is
wrong in your script/server. What script are you trying to run? Is it a
custom made one? if so then you should know where that error is coming
from. Else, the script your are using is screwed...

Thank you for your response,

This is the script that probably caused the problem:

if (function_exists('ini_get')) {
ini_get('register_globals') or exit('FATAL ERROR: register_globals is
disabled in php.ini, please enable it!');
}

This script is part of a big website that already running and I only want to
keep it working

What can I do?

You didn't say which version of PHP you're running, but turning it on in
the php.ini file should work - unless it's overridden, as Miguel
indicated. Be sure to check the syntax of your php.ini very carefully.

However - you NEED to fix your code so that it doesn't require
register_globals to be on. It's a huge security hole, and may be
completely disabled in future versions of PHP.

So you can fix it now, or run with the security risk and have to change
it later, anyway. Better to do it now.

Find the script that is insisting register_globals is turned on, and either
upgrade it to a version that doesn't require register_globals, or stop using
it.

register_globals isn't inherently a security risk, but it does turn certain
sloppy programming practices into severe security risks - and it is itself a
sloppy programming practice, and strongly deprecated many versions of PHP ago.
