[Resolved] register global

ramez_sever

how can i set the "register global" value to "OFF" in my code

stolzyboy

in an .htaccess file put:

php_value register_globals 0

ramez_sever

why .htaccess ?

can i write it in any php file

stolzyboy

nope, register_globals is one of the directives you can't change with ini_set

ramez_sever

ok so i there is no way to do it in a php file

can you give me example how to write it in .htaccess

and what i should do after that
should i include it in my scripts or what

i am sorry but i didn't deat with this file before

stolzyboy

i told you already simply put this in a file called .htaccess:

php_value register_globals 0

save that little bit of text as .htaccess and put the file in the folder where your php scripts are that you want register_globals = Off

btw, don't you have access to your php.ini, it would be easier to turn it on and leave it on there, .htaccess can slow things down quite a bit sometimes

Not always -- I don't have access to php.ini for my site. It's hosted on vervehosting.com, and they of course control php.ini.

Many people have their sites hosted elsewhere and can't access the ini file. .htaccess to the rescue! 🙂

ramez_sever

i try this but it seems that is not working

stolzyboy

you have it set to "1", that would be on, use "0" for off like i said

that i realize buzz, i host some site as well as use third party, so trust me, i know, but some people don't even know about php.ini's so i was curious 😃

ramez_sever

i try it again it's not working

stolzyboy

you/your host is running apache, right, not IIS

and what are you using to test if register_globals is off or on

ramez_sever

I am using IIS

i test it in a login screen that use global variable

stolzyboy

hmm... then you may be in trouble, i'm not sure you can do it with IIS, someone else may know, bit .htaccess is native to Apache

you said this isn't YOUR box, right

ramez_sever

i am sorry but maybe you confused

I try this trick to My PC before i upload it to the host server
The host server have Apache server.
But my PC Have IIS server.

so it's will work in apache but it will not work in IIS.

do you know a way to do it in IIS.....

thanks for your help.

stolzyboy

yes, this will work on Apache, I don't know of a way to do it on IIS, you could search on Google, but I guess I don't work with IIS enough to know a work around, but if the IIS box is yours, you can search for your php.ini and change the register_globals = On to register_globals = Off in there

ramez_sever

i know i can do it

but i want to know how to do it in the code not manually for my knowledge

stolzyboy

ok, well it will work on apache, still can't say anything about IIS, but you CAN'T do it in your php code

ramez_sever

ok thanks man for your help
