A problem I got...

Henri

something really weird is going on with my webserver...

I installed a scripts called nphp and it's a news update script. the problem is that when I click on the submit button, all it does is clear the form. I tried installing it on another server, and it worked properly.

so what do you guys think the problem is?

Odds are the 'broken' server is running a newish version of PHP where register_globals is turned off by default.

The other 'working' server will be using an old version of PHP where register_globals is still enabled by default.

The solution:

a) Fix your code
b) Enable register_globals (in php.ini)

O.O

It turns out that register globals we're turned on (I think).

are register globals stuff like [_POST] ?

if yes, then they are enabled. does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be/is?

thanx a lot

Register_globals determines whether incoming get/post name/value pairs are turned into script variables. IE: if your form passes a form field "myFormField" with the value of "42", then your script will automatically have a variable "$myFormField" with the value of "42".

Put PHP_INFO(); into a test script and run it. It will produce output with all of the configuration options for your version of PHP. Look for "Register_Globals" and see if it is "on" or "off".

This may or may not be the problem with your script, but is as good a guess as any given the information you posted.

well they're on, so I guess thats not the problem 😐
