make a script that uses register globals off into a PHP6-compliant one

marcnyc

Hello, I recently switched host and a script that I had working on the old host now breaks on the new host because the old host had register_globals turned off.
Since I have no idea how to go about this, I was wondering if it would be easy to convert the script into one that works with register_globals turned on, since it is going to disappear in PHP6 I've read on the manual.

The website is: eurovectopcar.com

The errors I see right now are:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/eurovect/public_html/auto/carview.php on line 25

and:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/eurovect/public_html/auto/carview.php on line 140

and those lines are:

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

while ($image_row =mysql_fetch_array ($result) )

Thanks for any ideas.

register_globals should be turned off, because the ability to register globals will be going away in PHP 6.

But for your problem: how much debugging have you done and what were the results? Because turning register_globals on will not break a script that ran if it was turned off (unless you aren't properly initialising your variables before you use them).

I am sorry I said that the other way around... it was ON on the old server and OFF (as it should be) on the new server.

Unfortunately I didn't write the code that is breaking but I heavily modified it to suit my needs so I am hoping I can fix it to work with register globals OFF

In that case what you're asking is probably answered by Question One of the Newbies FAQ.
