change settings in php.ini

[knuff]

Ok, here is the deal, I have moved my site from one server to an other. (from php 4.2.2 to 4.3.2). Im not intresting in security and that kind of stuff. All I want to do is change it so the settning so i can use my code. I have turn register_globals to ON. But I still having problems with variables. Like icant do like this to clear forms.

if($name != "")
{
	$name = "";
}
($name is the value of a text field)

The error message is: "Undefined variable: name"
And my sessesions wont work. icant send it forward.
this i where i collect info: login.php

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM XXX WHERE userid='$userid' AND password='$password'");
if ($res = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$_SESSION['userid'] = $res[0];
header("Location: index.php");
exit();

and hare is the problem, I will be redirected to noway.php on my
index.php:

session_start();
	if(!isset($_SESSION['userid']))
	{
		header("Location: noway.php");
		exit();
	}

All of this works fine on 4.2.2. So I dont want to know how to code this in 4.3.2 (yet, thx anyway) I want to know how to change my setting so the server will handel my sessions and Variables like 4.2.2.

Thanks for your time /knuff

according to this http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php you cannot set register globals from inside a script, this is for security reasons but since you're not interested in that I will not elaborate.

You can work around this by creating a fill that will pull the variables into the hashes from where they can be referenced when register globals is off.

For example:

foreach(array_keys($HTTP_POST_VARS) as $curIndex) {
  $$curIndex = $HTTP_POST_VARS[$curIndex];
}

then you include the file that has this code in every other script and all of a sudden you'll be back in business. Though I would recomend only doing this as a temp fix while you get the scripts converted to work with the new system.

Well I have access to the php.ini file on the server, what i want to know is which line to edit for getting it work with my script. And yes this is only temp. I will work with a new version.
