yeah. you have to contact super-administrator of your webhosting company (where your virtual server is hosted). he will know what to do. he will need a name of your domain too (like www.something.com)

 

anyway its not on your computer dont worry. call your hosting provider and tell supaadmin to switch that thing on! :))

 

enjoy.

I hope you can help again?

I got this back from the hosting company

 

register_globals is actualy enabled. Do you know how it's determining it's not enabled? Sorry, but we're not too familar with OSCommerce.

 

Do you have the answer for this?

I have found you can override the server side php.ini settings by editing your /catalog/.htaccess file and add this line to turn on register_globals:

 

php_flag register_globals 1

 

Hope this helps...Joe

I have never known the Register Globals warning to appear when Register Globals is enabled on the server. I suspect it's not just osCommerce that your hosts don't know much about.

Thanks for your help Vger, The host company I use is one of the bigger ones here in New Zealand. this is the response I just received from them

I can guarentee you that register_globals is turned on. I believe this comes down to how osCommerce is determining the state of register_globals, and that the method they use no longer works with recent versions of PHP.

Have you any sugestions? Should I try and use your contribution file? I'm very new to oscommerce and starting to think I maybe better to find a template shopping cart programme that may be a little easier (hate to give up!!)

In Past versions of PHP Globals was on by default. in newer versions it is not. it is possible your hosting company is not aware of this and just assumes it is on. anyhow to get around this download the OS version that has the globals built in. it worked like a charm for us.
