what is this registered globals mallarchy!

[e-merchant]

Hello people,

 

I have just installed xampp v1.5.3a

 

this has installed the following on my windows XP SP2 computer

* Apache 2.2.2

* MySQL 5.0.21

* PHP 5.1.4

* phpMyAdmin 2.8.1

* XAMPP Control Panel Version 2.3

* FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.16c

 

the following message is displayed when I access localhost

 

Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory. :angry:

 

which I am sure some of u have seen before :D

 

I have turned registered globals on in the php.ini file and php5.ini file in XAMPP's directory, although after reading from php.net having it on doesn't seem like a good idea? and stop and started my apache server in xampp's control panel and I still have the same error as above

 

 

ok thanks for reading this, I hope some of you know what to do...and no doubt your suggestions will help others who will read this

 

Many thanks :D

Stopping the service in XAMPP's control panel won't do it. You need to access the Apache Monitor in the xampp\apache\bin folder and use that to turn Apache off, and to restart it again.
