Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find it.

I asked my host about changing to PHP5 and part of the reply was this.
Code:
Please note that in contrast to PHP 4, the default for the variable

RegisterGlobals is "off".

I didn't know if this was good or bad so thought I'd ask. Embarassed

This is a very good thing and RavenNuke(tm) has been able to run perfectly fine in this manner for many years. Now, it is possible, though, that other PHP scripts could fail, but if they are dependent upon register globals being turned on, it is time to get rid of or replace them... Wink

Thanks montego. Never doubted RN. I'll see if any of my other bits and pieces fail then do one or the other. Smile

Just thought I would add this tidbit if you're admining several domains on one server where Register_Globals is set to OFF in the php.ini file.

For Apache servers, edit the HTTPD.CONF file for the domain where you want it set to ON:

<Directory /path to/httpdocs>
AllowOverride All
php_admin_flag register_globals on
</Directory>

I find this much easier than editing OR creating a .htaccess file in the root directory of the domain in question.

Cheers

Right - Caveat Emptor applies.

Cheers
