Shopping Cart not working since host's PHP4 to PHP5 upgrade

[glaven]

My host (which runs its PHP in Safe Mode) has recently upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5. Since the change, my oscommerce shopping cart (which has been fine for the last 5 years) does not work. I have tried different settings in my host's control panel. Here are the results:

 

1) Globals off/PHP Error off....When I put something in the basket, I get this message:

"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 director"

 

2) Globals on/ PHP Error off....I can put items in and update the cart. But when I go to checkout I get a blank page.

 

3) Globals on/PHP Error on...Same as above but I get this message:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /customers/mysite.com/mysite.com/httpd.www/catalog/create_account.php on line 460"

 

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what might have happened and suggest any possible fixes.

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks, Bryce. Here are the lines:

 

</tr>

<?php

}

?>

<tr>

<td class="main">City/Town:<?php echo //ENTRY_STATE; ?></td>

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('city') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_CITY_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_CITY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php

if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {

?>

Cheers Bryce: I had to do the same with checkout_payment.php and my Shopping Cart is back working again. I can't really thank you enough for your help!

 

(What a difference a // makes!)
