i am installing a website on my fc3 server which requires the following line in the /etc/php.ini
register_globals = On
so on the server i gedit /etc/php.ini and set the line and restart the server and then view /localhost/phpinfo.php and register_globals remains OFF (i am banging my head on the table)
so then i test this on my fc3 workstation and the same happens! there is only one php.ini on both machines and the phpinfo.php shows the ini path /etc/php.ini correctly
i have spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue (8 hours) and have posted on the forum supporting the website i am installing and nobody else is having this problem. finally i come here in the hope that i have made a silly and obvious mistake, thank you for your attention
(i understand the security issue thank you)🙂
EDIT: SOLVED
cut from http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.variables-order
variables_order string
Set the order of the EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie, Server) variable parsing. The default setting of this directive is "EGPCS". Setting this to "GP", for example, will cause PHP to completely ignore environment variables, cookies and server variables, and to overwrite any GET method variables with POST-method variables of the same name.
See also register_globals.
