Beating a Dead Horse with broken wooden spoon, _globals prob

[Fibonacci]

I know after extensively trolling the forum here that many people have had this problem, however, when I go to the initial install, i get a message telling me that register_globals is disabled in php.ini, enable. I have attempted to simply code it on in my php.ini file. I have also attempted to alter the .htaccess file, both in my system root file and in the apache root file. One thing I was confused about was which .htaccess file to remonve the # from. My system search returned like nine or ten different .htaccess files.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this yet? BTW does anyone know if the latest milestone has this problem also? If not, I'll just install that.

 

Thanks for your help,

ALL of osCommerce versions so far will need

register_globals = on

 

in THE SERVERS php.ini file.

You can NOT change this through a .htaccess file, only in php.ini or httpd.conf - which is an example of one of the more common pittfalls:

 

- the httpd.conf (VirtualHost section or server wide) sets another value

- the php.ini you are changing is not the one that gets loaded by php.
