register_globals_v1.4

[stevennickelby]

I have installed the register globals contribution, "register_globals_v1.4"

 

 

I checked with the server i'm using and they replied me...

 

It is not possible to switch "register_globals off" for the server as it may affect many other users also. How ever you can do it for your account with the entry " register_globals = Off " added to your .htaccess file in your catalog folder

 

will this be good enough,

or will there be problems, given that register globals is not off in the php.ini file?

 

can someone show me the way :blink:

[stevennickelby]

is this true or false?

 

 

 

In fact, if you use this patch, you MUST disable the 'register_globals' option. if you do not,

things will go horribly wrong - The session management will probably not work correctly because of

the way the patch maps the session variables to the global variable space - I could be be wrong

on this point, but I wouldn't do it anyway. Besides, what's the point of adding the patch if you are

not going to disable register globals ?

It may be worth your while to also check this mod

PHP 5 No Register Globals

Says PHP 5 but should also work with PHP verions >= 4.1.0

Just a suggestion, there may be a reason that the mod you are inquiring about will work better

for your particular situation.

I have already installed the register globals v1.4,

 

and also it works with the session renegeration contribution,

 

so i'm trying to save having to go back back into the files to turn them back to the beginning.

 

it seems to work ok, with php.ini having register_globals=on and the HTACCESS having it =off

 

but is this just a build up for disaster and will there be repercussions? :(

 

It keeps me on the edge of my seat not to know
