register_globals

[matt22]

in php.ini it says that this function is ON, but infact it is not - so how to turn it on?

Thanks

you can edit the php.ini file, but if you do you have to make sure that the edited php.ini file is in every folder that uses php.

If it says it's on, it really IS on .. to test this, you can do a simple file like this:

<?php

echo $in;

?>

Save it as test.php and then call it in your browser (after you upload it) with www_yourdomain_com/test.php?in=123

It should output the value you passed in the URL .. in this case .. 123.

For more informations about global variables check out: http://www.php.net/register_globals

if you can, I wouldn't global variables. I'd use this:



<?php $_GET['URLVAR']; ?>
