FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

"FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!"

EPIC FAIL!

You HAVE to be kidding! Right?

I can't believe in all the years that oscommerce has been in existance that even now, by default you ship this product so that register_globals must be enabled to use it.

Ridiculous!

It's VERY easy to not require register_globals, in fact it should be disabled all together, it should never be required!

If you want me or anyone else to take this product seriously, you should seriously consider adjusting your code to accommodate this.

Good luck.

Just search the forum this has been addressed in many threads.

I'm sure it has, so why hasn't anything been done about it?

Ok, The way I see it is this is an open source project. You talk as if it is a retail product. People have already fixed this in a few threads in a couple different ways. No one is shipping anything. It is OPEN SOURCE. People here help each other.
So if it is VERY EASY as you say it would be great if you have a better fix than what we already have. I am sure that everyone would appreciate it. Most all problems found are fixed in future releases. That is what this forum is for to contribute not to slam things!!!

I talk as the developer of one open source project to another.

"ship" is slang for distribution, if its technicalities you want to talk about, I'm all ears, but discussing which media of distribution to use isn't the issue here.

It's very so easy in fact, when I used osCommerce 7 years ago, I fixed it then. I'd have expected things to have improved a little since then.

Recommending people to insecure their system by default is just laughable.

This software is as much of a joke as osCommerce itself, if this software is to be taken seriously, at least fix the bare minimum in the version available for download.

This issue should be fixed and added to the release.

It is commonly known that osCMax and osCommerce require register globals to be on. It even says as much in the requirements.

If you don't like it, join the dev team, patch the code with the patch available in the forums, or go use something else that is less aggravating to you. You really do have a lot of options.

It's commonly known that anything osCommerce based doesn't require register globals on, it just needs fixing.

What's the point in reinventing the wheel? The fixes exist, and have existed to my knowledge since about 2005, probably before then.

I know what my options are, but do you?

osCMax - yet another disappointing osCommerce based eCommerce solution.

Good luck with that.
