Why Am I getting this Fatal Error viewing php files through XAMPP...

[shoppingcart101]

Hello everyone. I am checking my changes to the php files through XAMPP Apache and I am getting a message.

 

FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

 

I had contacted my server support for them to enable the "register_globals" and that took care of that issue through my Remote server but I am getting it through my local server setup on my computer.

 

I appreciate any help.

 

Thanks for reading.

Do you know how to edit you local ini file? That's where you have to change it - there is also a contribution to fix it.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I know how to edit it, but I fail to see that particular file within all the folders in the XAMPP system. Would you know what are to retrieve that file to edit it?

 

Thanks!

I would try using that contribution first - I am not familiar enough with your production environment to point you in the right direction so sorry

You've probably already got the contribution now but there is another option:

 

Put:

php_flag register_globals on

 

In your htaccess file in the oscommerce directory, save and upload, try again.

Search for php.ini. This is a plain text file and is the config file for PHP on your system. It's in whatever directory PHP was installed in.

 

Change register_globals to ON.

 

Restart Apache.
