user php.ini ignored

[EWD]

Hi Guys,

I have a user that needs register_globals turned on.
I did this creating a local php.ini file however the system seems to be ignoring it.
Safe PHP CGI is not enabled on the server.

I have created a phpinfo file on the account and it does show register_gloabls on as well as the location of the local php.ini file.


Any ideas?
Running php4.4.7

Thanks.

Wait.

1. you say you WANT register_globals on
2. you say you created a PHP.INI to turn ON register_globals
3. you say that phpinfo shows register_globals is ON

But you say the system is ignoring PHP.INI?

Doesn't sound to me like it's ignoring PHP.INI if phpinfo shows register_globals on

Remember - with php.ini, you can't just stick it in public_html and have it take effect for every directory beneath it. You have to copy that php.ini file to any directory that has PHP content that requires the settings in the php.ini file

Hello,

Please create .htaccess file and add following value

php_value register_globals 1
php_flag register_globals On

I guess that is where the issue is.
I thought it used to cascade down to subdirectories?

Thanks Mike

Yeah unfortunately it doesn't cascade. If you weren't running SUPHP you'd be able to put it in the .htaccess file (which does cascade). But the damned php.ini has to be put into every directory where you want settings to take effect. A real pain in the ass, but I'd rather run suphp and deal with it.

Yea I wouldn't do away with suphp either.

Thanks for the help
