Problem with PHP running in Apache/Red Hat Linux

[agaitan]

I made a popup calendar in php and I tested it in apache running locally in my win2000 machine and it worked fine, but for some strange reason when I upload it to my server that it's running Apache and Red Hat linux something appear to not work fine, the data passed trough the url reveal that some basic calculations are wrong

Here it's and example:

When I run my code in win2000 the data on the url travel as:

href=index2.php?dia=1&nvo_mes=12&nvo_ano=2002>

But in Linux the data on the url travel as:

href=index2.php?dia=1&nvo_mes=-1 &nvo_ano=>

what could it be?

hi Alejandro,

can you please give some more information. for example what functions you are using for getting date data?

greetings, tijger

Here are the list of functions to get data that I use.

$tiempo_actual = time();
$mes = date("n", $tiempo_actual);
$ano = date("Y", $tiempo_actual);
$dia=date("d");

I dont think that is the problem because the first time that the calendar it's loaded it get the date correctly and display it... the problem is when I try to advance to another month it send has to increase the date wich is stored in this variables:

trough this code:

//here I make a link to go to the previous month and generate the link to go to it

$mes_anterior = $mes-1;
$ano_anterior = $ano;
if ($mes_anterior==0){
	$ano_anterior = $ano_anterior-1;
	$mes_anterior=12;
}

echo "<a style=color:white;text-decoration:none href=index2.php?dia=1&nvo_mes=$mes_anterior&nvo_ano=$ano_anterior>&lt;&lt;</a></td>";
echo "<td align=center class=tit>$nombre_mes $ano</td>";

echo "<td align=right style=font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;color:white>";

//here I make a link to go to the next month and generate the link to go to it

$mes_siguiente = $mes+1;
$ano_siguiente = $ano;
if ($mes_siguiente==13){
	$ano_siguiente = $ano_siguiente+1;
	$mes_siguiente=1;
}

echo "<a style=color:white;text-decoration:none href=index2.php?dia=1&nvo_mes=$mes_siguiente&nvo_ano=$ano_siguiente>&gt;&gt;</a></td></tr></table></td></tr>";

the problem it's when I press this generated links in linux, in windows works fine a take me to the previous or next month but in linux It has the problems that I told you in the problem description.

Try changing these lines:

$tiempo_actual = time(); 
$mes = date("n", $tiempo_actual); 
$ano = date("Y", $tiempo_actual); 

To just this:

$mes = date("n"); 
$ano = date("Y"); 

The isn't really a need to seed time to date as it gets that information on it's own. Also, I ran the code you had posted on both linux and Win2k and came up with the correct output.

I have found that the problem is that the Apache server in the linux machine do not have the "php.ini" directive "register_globals" turned to "on".

Does anyone know how to configure that in Linux, I'm new in Linux and I dont know wich file it's the equivalent to php.ini in windows.
