Hello Rasmus- How do you suggest ini_set() document these differences? Maybe the table at ini_set() could use another column, for descriptions and notes. Also, could you give a concise description for the differences between local and master values? Regards, Philip Olson On Mon, 8 Jul

master is the top-level default value set in either your php.ini if you have that file and have a specific value set, or ir not it is the PHP default for the config value. The local is the per-request setting set either in httpd.conf, .htaccess or locally in the script. On Mon, 8 Jul 2002,

Hi If you check with phpinfo() you will see that it is getting set to 1 or 0 but by the time your script is run it is too late for it to have any effect. Also ini_get('registar_globals') will not return the current state. I have no idea why, it looks like one of those undocumented safety
