FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini

[jmercieri]

Hello All,

 

I've recently installed osCommerce and I'm getting to know the admin area.

 

Just recently I've been receiving this error message when I try to access my shop...

 

FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

 

I haven't messed with any php files so I'm not sure what's up. I can't even get to my admin panel..shows the same error.

 

All images hosted on the site are fine and pages that are not in the store (catalog) area are fine as well.

 

I'm new to all of this so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Joe

Sounds like your host has turned this feature off, which increasingly more hosts are doing. Register_gloabls presents a security risk, so as host are upgrading their software/servers, more and mor epeople are coming across this problem. You dont have to have doen anything at all, and probably everything else on your server is displaying normally, bt dont worry, there is a relatively easy fix: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...egister_globals

I just added the patch and it torked my install.

 

With the patch I am getting php.ini errors in the catalog and inclusion errors in the admin. When I put the .htaccess file back as it was allowing register globals, all is well.

 

Any ideas?

well, if you are able to use .htaccess to override the register_globals settings, then you are sorted. Yes?
