FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.i

[greyhoundlady99]

What does this mean? FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

 

I went to install on new site I'm building and get this! I've installed this on other sites before without problems... but this time it's a different hosting provider. Please help!

Many threads on solving this, here's one.

Not to sound like a real idiot here... but I'm a designer and just learning this whole thing. Anyway, where would I put a line like php_flag register_globals on in the .htaccess file?

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

<IfDefine SSL>

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

</IfDefine>

</IfModule>

thank you for pointing the direction to the other posts

I would first try to convince your host to turn on register_globals in the default php.ini.

 

The upcoming MS3 distribution of osCommerce will not require globals to be set on.

 

If your site is not running Apache, then you can't use the .htaccess override.

 

Just add

 

php_flag register_globals on

 

 

as the first line in the .htaccess file.

 

If you have any other directories (like admin) protected by .htaccess files then you may need to add the line there as well.

Ok, didn't work <_< ... know of any good hosting companies that I won't have this problem but won't charge an arm and leg?

 

Anybody have any good references to how to start a database. I have a lot of products and want to start a database, but don't know where to start!
