PHP -- Register_Globals

[allenhui]

I have change Register_Globals in the /etc/php.ini .
Also restart httpd but the Register_Globals still don't work.
What i need to do to turn it on?

are you using phpsuexec?

create teh file

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and save it in your webspace and call your browser. Make sure you name it .php something.

Look for the php.ini path in the first part of the page output.

EDIT...

Just installed Zend Optimizer and it moved my php.ini to usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini but everything is still on and it doesnt work.

in my phpinfo() file it says
"allow_url_fopen | On | On"
but when trying to use any script that includes another file...
like this error comes up:
"Warning: fopen(config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/myusername/public_html/script/setup.php on line 990"

BUT there in fact IS the config.php file and it IS chmod 777

something is wrong with server to where it won't allow any chmodding or something
I'm lost...

need help

let me ask it again,
are you using phpsuexec?

[ryno267]

as far as I know.... NO....

Am i right by saying this?... the problem i'm having is a php.ini directory path problem?

IDK.. but the more i read about this phpsuexec... the more of a headache it sounds. I think i'm glad I don't have it on there as 99% of people seem to hate it if their host has it...

phpsuexec is not a headace if you understand it.

No php script can have execute permissions for example. All phpscripts should be owned by the account owner and not by nobody.

no php_value entries in the .htaccess file. Instead create a local php.ini file in the same folder as the .htaccess file and put the php_value entries in there.

The reason to look at the php.ini path in phpinfo is to make sure you know where php is lookig for its config file. As you have noted after installing zend the php.ini file is moved from its default and expected location but if the new path is listed in phpinfo then things are ok as far as where its located.

[foxboy]

note that if you use php as a apache module you have to restart apache (httpd restart) after changing php.ini

[ryno267]

have plenty of times... i know that though... thanks... still doesnt solve problem....

this thing is killin me...

[jeffheld]

don't die. software can't kill, it can only annoy.

we've had similar problems where changes made in the php.ini file shown by phpinfo do not take effect after a httpd restart - phpsuexec ian't the culprit as it's not enabled, but it is strange.
