php_flag in .htaccess

[Anon]

I am running a Windows NT server with Apache and PHP4. I have 2 different php scripts running, one needs the register_globals set to on, and one needs it off. When I create an .htaccess file in the root of the script I want to change the setting for, I get an error that whenever I try to pull up the page. In the apache error log, I get an error that says:
'Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration'.

The .htaccess file has the following line:
'php_flag register_globals off'

What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what the override value would be, but I'm fairly sure you'd have to set the "AllowOverride" in httpd.conf to allow PHP module configuration.

You may want to try setting AllowOverride to All just to test this. Be sure to put it back to what it was before you forget! 'AllowOverride All' can be dangerous.

If setting AllowOverride to All allows you to add this directive, then you can start removing overrides until you find the one that allows PHP module configuration and then see if you can securely leave that override on.

Thanks for the suggestion, but AllowOveride is already set to All. Any other thoughts?

Sorry...I'm not sure what the problem may be then. I think there were some issues with older version of PHP and Apache regarding this issue, but I don't use this functionality so I'm not familiar with them.
