Guest Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Register_Globals are ON in my website (which I'm still building). Is there any problem if I leave it "ON"? I read something that if I leave register globals ON, my website would be vulnerable to hackers, is it true? What should I do? Should I leave it ON or leave it OFF and install patch? Will other contributions work if I install patch? Could you please someone give me some advice? Tks Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has more to do with coding issues and osC is and has been pretty amazingly free of issues. If you're going to be running osC all by itself in your webspace you should be fine but if you plan on adding other scripts that may have RG vulnerabilities (Joomla, phpBB etc) you'll find they're not as robust as osC in an RG on situation. Then, of course, you'll have to contend with your hosting provider turning them off sometime in the future as it won't be an option in PHP6. HTH, Iggy Everything's funny but nothing's a joke...
