crandall87 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 hmm sounds like you may have to do a new install of oscommerce. it may have something to do with the register globals thing but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErollorD Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think there is a problem with your hosting, try to contact your hosting provider about this problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velveeta Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 going to contact them tomorrow. Cant understand that when i installed ver 3 it works ok no prob's Version 3 is written with support for register_globals being turned off, meaning it accesses any get or post variables in the proper form like $_GET['whatever'] or $_POST['whatever']... What it sounds like to me is that your register_globals patch isn't working quite properly, and so when the code is trying to reference $_GET['cPath'] as $cPath (which is how it's written to reference it originally I think), it's pulling a blank value... There is a very easy fix for register_globals which works most of the time, depending on your host, which is to put a php.ini file into both your catalog and admin directories, and just have 1 line in each of them that says: register_globals = on That will switch it on for your store, which the rest of the shared server accounts will keep it turned off.

Richard. Thanks for that Richard, when i have looked for the file php.ini i cant see it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velveeta Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks for that Richard, when i have looked for the file php.ini i cant see it :( You have to create the php.ini file yourself, you just make a regular old text file, named php.ini, and just put that one line into it.. You'll need a copy of it both in your catalog and admin directories... Richard. Richard Lindsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
