PHP - Register_globals

I have script that I need register_globals = On

right now I have to put php.ini into root of my webpage on webhost.
but that means it turn on register_globals = On for whole site.

I have tried just putting php.ini into subdomain but does not work, well script does not work.

I have tried to put AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
into the .htaccess in subdomain but that does not work either, script stop working.

I can not get script to work if php.ini is in root of webpage webhost.

What I'm I doing wrong, thanks

Hi all,

Just moving my old website to a new server and I can't turn register_globals off. The company that designed the site for me has long gone and I don't know enough about php to do this...any help would be greatly appreciated.

The error I am getting when trying to access the page is
[01-Feb-2011 05:37:13] PHP Warning:  Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively in Unknown on line 0
[01-Feb-2011 05:37:14] PHP Warning:  mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'newquayu_uncover'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/xmasphot/public_html/www.newquayuncovered.com/music/classes/DB_class.php on line 44

I have had to change the name of the database and the access details, this has been reflected in other documents but I am guessing that this is trying to use the orignal details somehow???

Hello All!
Can anyone explain why when I run the following code


<?php
print_r($GLOBALS);
?> 


I get the following output

Array ( [GLOBALS] => Array *RECURSION* [_POST] => Array ( ) [_GET] => Array ( ) [_COOKIE] => Array ( ) [_FILES] => Array ( ) )


which is expected since register_globals is set to off and no variables are defined, but when I add the following code. which is just to echo out a variable from the superglobal $_SERVER, the print_r($GLOBALS) now outputs all the superglobal $_SERVER variables as if echo somehow made all the variables available to the script and now $GLOBALS sees them. maybe a stupid question I don't know. For obvious reasons I can't show the output, but it's easy enough to run the code to view your systems output.


<?php
print_r($GLOBALS);
echo "<br />";
echo "<br />";
echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
?> 


Thanks,

Why won't this code work when register_globals is turned off (works fine when register_globals is on though).

<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","un","pw");
mysql_select_db("the_db");

$username = $_POST['usernamex'];
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

$result =sprintf("SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE username ='%s' || email = '%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string($email));
$resultfin = mysql_query($result);
if (mysql_num_rows ($resultfin) > 0){
$register = "Retry.";
echo($register);
} else {
$go =sprintf("INSERT INTO tbl (username, email, surname) VALUES ('%s', '%s', '%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string($email), mysql_real_escape_string($surname));
$resultg = mysql_query($go);
$register = "Successful.";
echo($register);
}
?>

Thanks,
Bickey.

i have two SMTP scripts (attached) they need register_globals to be on to work without destroying one of my cookies.

how do i modify them so that they dont need register_globals?

thank you, sorry for the open ended question, ask me anything to help you help me! thanks.
