I also thought that <?php ini_set("whetever", "foo"); echo
ini_get("whatever"); ?> prints "foo" thus I documented why ini_set was
called in FAQ first. But it's not true (at least in 4.3.10 and 5.0.3),
ini_set() works only with PHP_INI_USER.

It does have some effect in regards to sessions (at least it used to,
not sure since 4.2.3). And I assume the author of that FAQ put it there
in case the script uses ini_get('register_globals') somewhere else in
which case the script knows it's been polluted (behaving like it's on).
But to avoid confusion, I also think it should be removed.

You are absolutely right, sorry for the confusion. I removed the
ini_set('register_globals') from FAQ.

Hi,
The manual says very clear, that you cannot change register_globals
with ini_set, because it is changeable PHP_INI_DIR:
register_globals "0" PHP_INI_PERDIR PHP_INI_ALL in PHP <= 4.2.3.
Conclusion: using ini_set('register_globals', 'what_ever_value') has no
effect, no?
Kind regards
Friedhelm

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.
It's for telling the rest of the script that globals are (not)
registered (if tested with ini_get).
