Can't enable register_globals

[xxkylexx]

Hello,

I have register_globals turned off server-wide for what I have been informed of as security reasons, however, I do need to have this turned on for one individual account.

I initially had register_globals enabled on this particular account through a php_flag in .htaccess, however, I now have enabled phpsuexec, which requires me to move that info to a php.ini.

I have created a php.ini file with ONLY the following contents in it:

register_globals = On

With this uploaded to my public_html folder of the account, register_globals still shows as being off in a phpinfo document.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is something causing my account's php.ini value to be overwritten? I have some software that will not run properly without register_globals being on.


Thanks,
Kyle

php_flag register_globals on

in your .htaccess file inside public_html folder or where needed

I cant use .htaccess, as I have phpsuexec on my server.

try this in your php.ini for the user

register_globals = On
safe_mode = Off


if safe_mode is on globally, i belive they conflict

sorry i cant help you further, as i dont use phpsuexec

No luck. Something is causing all the edits to my web root php.ini's to be overwriten by the global server-wide php.ini. Any ideas?

you didnt by chance do a
chattr +i /../../../php.ini did you?

IF you did..try
chattr -i to your php.ini file

then see if you can edit it..


i had this issue once..when i had my server admined!

Do the following, and don't chattr php.ini:
Edit .htaccess, using your favorite editor, and insert the following directive:
"php_value register_globals 1"

As I mentioned, I have phpsuexec enabled on this server, which eliminates the ability to use .htaccess for php values. These must be done with a php.ini in the web root from what I read.

Yup, wondering the same thing too. Is it possible to use register_globals for one account?

[xxkylexx]

It has to be. I have read numerous documents on the net to just create a php.ini in your web root and add "register_globals = On". For some reason, this is being overwritten by my global php.ini which has it disabled.

Yes, you can use some Php directives in .htaccess with Phpsuexec on. Did that synatx do the trick or not?

[xxkylexx]

No, sorry. It gave me 500 internal errors on the account. Any other ideas?
