[RESOLVED] register_globals

msnhockey

my old scripts which were designed for me about 4 years ago required registered_globals to be on.

I never knew this but in October my host got rid of this feature and my scripts do not work. It won't allow me to have a .htaccess file, but i can have a php.ini file

my host is Yahoo.

This only needs to be temp as all new scripts are in the works and should be done soon.

any help on what i might need to make this work is appriciated

Well, if you can change/add a site specific php.ini, then the temporary solution is obvious: enable register_globals by setting it to On 🙂

Okay, you might need to restart the web server, but I'm not sure how that works when you are not also the server administrator, heh.

i have no access to the server for sure since I get my services from them

one of the worst things is that it is not set up like most hosts where they have the www/..../... and so on. this just has a main directory and you can sub folders if you like.

is there a specific spot i should try putting the php.ini file

If you just need to get get, post, and/or cookie variables, see [man]import_request_variables/man. If you also need access to other things that would now be in $SESSION, $SERVER, etc., see Example #1 at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/faq.misc.php#faq.misc.registerglobals.

thanks for the replies.

I have contacted my host Yahoo and in October they turned register_globals completely off from working on their server.

there is no way to edit a .htaccess file or put in a php.ini file
they have set them up and can't access to change.

I am changing servers as I need this script to run for another 3 months while the new ones are being finalized.
