FATAL ERROR with STS4.4 and register_globals fix

[laprisamata]

Hi,

I'm completely new with Oscommerce, and only in the process of learning PHP - I'm literally a few days in.

 

I managed to successfully install Oscommerce ms2.2 060817 and everything worked fine after downloading and implementing the register_globals fix.

After the installation, my next step was to install STS4.4 - which I did, and this is where things went a bit wrong. After installing STS4.4, the register_globals problem returned. I trusted that repatching the installation with the register_globals fix would circumvent this problem, but I am now left with the following error:

 

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\catalog\includes\functions\html_output.php on line 78

 

 

 

I installed Oscommerce on a local server, using XAMPP set for PHP 4.4.4

 

What am I doing wrong, and what would I need to do to fix the problem?

 

Many thanks in advance.
