#1 Register Globals to OFF

[Martin Emanuel]

I tried to install this application and came up with the following message.

"Set register_globals to OFF please. Bye."

I do have it off as you can see from this copy paste:

; - register_globals = Off [Security, Performance]
; Global variables are no longer registered for input data (POST, GET, cookies,
; environment and other server variables). Instead of using $foo, you must use
; you can use $_REQUEST["foo"] (includes any variable that arrives through the
; request, namely, POST, GET and cookie variables), or use one of the specific
; $_GET["foo"], $_POST["foo"], $_COOKIE["foo"] or $_FILES["foo"], depending
; on where the input originates. Also, you can look at the
; import_request_variables() function.
; Note that register_globals is going to be depracated (i.e., turned off by
; default) in the next version of PHP, because it often leads to security bugs.
; Read http://php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php for further
; information.

Is there a bug that I can fix to get this to go forward on the install?

Thanks,
Martin

Ok...I went to the original phpmyticket.com site and found the following which solved my issue:

"Register globals

For security reasons this php flag should be off. Install will produce a warning if it detects it to on. Renaming _.htaccess to .htaccess should solve this problem, otherwise edit includes/config/init_common.php and remove those two lines:

echo "Set register_globals to OFF please. Bye.";
exit;"

The nature of the script its safter to have globals off, we'll look into it tho. its fairly easy to fix, natcoley will be makeing some documentation to help people install.

thats intresting did i talk to you on the forums.

really if you disable the install line and the one in the int-config.php you should be able to run the script!
