i am installing some software on my server. this global register thing should be disabled for security reason, so i hear. i searched a few methods to do so on the net, but i can't find php.ini file. i created one myself, but it doesn't seem to work. anyone know what i am talking? if so, please help. thanks.
Is it your own server or shared hosting? If its shared hosting I don't think you can do this yourself, you will need to contact the host. If its your own server...I don't know where the file is at either
create a file called php.ini and put this in "register_globals = off" (no quotes) in it. save it in your root directory. what it does is make all variables in a php based webpage global. so, if you know what variables the code uses you can do things like this "www.somepage.com?password_varified=true"; if you don't have any php web apps, it shouldn't be an issue. edit: forgot to add it also depends on the admin settings. it maybe set so you can't used a custom php.ini file to overwrite the default settings.
using GoDaddy server. was trying to install phpBB. during the installation, i created a php.ini file that contains the code above. but the installation still says it's not correct. maybe it takes time for it to take effect? oh well. thanks guys.
