RE: [PHP] Variables not passed on localhost setup
with regard to register_globals being off, what kind of security implications are there?

Re: [PHP] Variables not passed on localhost setup
From: Greg Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't look as though variables are being passed from page to page. Register_globals is OFF in your php.ini file, so you need to use $_GET['testvar'] instead of $testvar. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Variables not passed on localhost setup
Thank you for that answer! That worked perfectly! That leads me to another query, again, which I have searched for... I'd like to be able to switch Register_Globals ON, but I can't find my php.ini file. Running phpinfo(); tells me that my 'php.ini' file is stored in C:\WINDOWS, but it's not there. I've ran a file search and still can't find it. The only ones that appear are 'php.ini-dist' and 'php.ini-recommended' which live in the installation directory. I followed a tutorial to install PHP, which didn't say anything about specifying whether you have a php.ini file or not. Any clue as to why I don't have one, and how I should get one? I installed PHP v4.3.3 on Apache 1.3. Thank you again for your time, I appreciate it. Greg Watson CPT John W.

Reply - this means your php is running on php defaults configuration. you need to copy the 'php.ini-dist' file as 'php.ini' to c:\windows. edit the the file 'C:\windows\php.ini' and change register_globals = Off to register_globals = On Greg Watson wrote: Thank you for that answer!

Re: [PHP] Variables not passed on localhost setup
rename php.ini-recommended to php.ini and put it in C:\windows and you can now use that file. -- Ray On Wed, 2003-10-01 at 10:52, Greg Watson wrote: Thank you for that answer! That worked perfectly!

Re: [PHP] Variables not passed on localhost setup [FIXED]
Thank you all so much! That sorted it! Cheers! I didn't see that before because I'm blind. Metorphorically speaking. Put it down to code-blindness from staring at the screen too long. Weird thing is, my searches took me to http://www.php.net/configuration, which didn't mention the moving ini file thing. That page told me about the location being a compile time option. I'll check up on the security implications. Unfortunately for me, this is the way I was taught PHP. I'll have to rethink things I suppose! I'll brush my teeth, too. Want 'em all nice and sparkly! Thanks again, you guys are so helpful! Greg CPT John W.

I'll have to rethink things I suppose! (and make sure you understand the security implications that may arise from having globals on and poorly written code) It would be best if you *do* get used to registered globals being off. It's gotten so that I can't even download premade PHP scripts anymore because 2 of the 3 webservers I work on have it turned off. It's not fun having to sort through other people's code and making it work with registered globals being off (extract() is the easiest way, but I still have to sort through which include needs it). It ends up being almost as much work as building a new one from scratch. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
