Testers needed for register_globals/register_long_arrays=off

[tbirnseth]

Hi All,

I found several problems in the original port. Most notably:

1. Sessions still did not behave correctly.
2. oscMax expected more info to be in the environment than exists under PHP-5.

So I fixed the session issues and added a psuedo function that resides in application_top.php called TBgetenv(). This tries to pick out the environmental value from other system arrays before making a final call to getenv(). I then did a global search/replace of 'getenv' with 'TBgetenv'.

I believe the application is functioning correctly. I still have some issues with it myself, but don't believe they are related to the port to PHP-5 and register_globals/register_long_arrays.

A new zip file is located at: http://www.ez-order-manager.com/osc/..._arrays_v2.zip

Hi,

Having an absolute nightmare trying to install Osmax on a client's web server which has register globals disabled and the host won't enable it and changing host's isn't an option.

I've tried the oscommerce register globals contribution which didn't work at all (through up loads of errors when i tried to view the front and backend), also tried changing the htaccess file and creating a php.ini file without any joy.

I've just tried this contribution but this doesn't appear to work either, uploaded all the files and successfully went through the setup procedure then when i go to veiw the front end it looks a right mess - osCMax v2.0 : Welcome to MakeUpMirrors4U!, doesn't look like the stylesheet file is linked properly, obviously this isn't a problem though as i won't be using the stock template. I can't access the admin area though which is a problem, i just get this error - osCMax v2.0.

Can anybody help me as i'm seriously running out of options.

Thanks,

James

James, I have not tried it myself, but this looks like it is worth a try :
osCommerce SEO - Running osCommerce with Register Globals Off - Magic SEO URL - Search Engine Optimization

Let us know how it works for you.

I can't access the admin area though which is a problem, i just get this error - osCMax v2.0.

Quite weird, but the first time I accessed that link, I did get the normal OSCMAX admin login screen.
Closed the tab, tried again, and now I get the following error:

Warning: require(includes/languages/0.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fhlinux168/t/thetailorscat.co.uk/user/htdocs/shop/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 210

That was with Firefox. So I tried with Explorer, and the same thing happened... The first time, the login screen showed ok, I did a reload, and the error showed up

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the help/advice.

I've followed the instructions on the link you posted up Mike and it's definately an improvement on the other methods i've tried although it's still not working completely correctly.

I've got an error on the admin login page and the default login details don't appear to work either

Any ideas what the problem could be? The code around line 130 is some of additional code i added from that solution:

 // Register Globals MOD - http://www.magic-seo-url.com
  if (!ini_get("register_globals")) {
    if (version_compare(phpversion(), "4.1.0", "<") === true) {
      if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)) $_SESSION &= $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
    }
    extract($_SESSION, EXTR_SKIP);
  } 
  

Thanks,

James

I had problems as well but changed just one section of code in the link Michael put up for magic seo urls and so far in testing no problems with anything. (fingers crossed) I will attach the read me with the only change being in the catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php no guarantees so back up. We are talking about 2 different fixes in this thread this is for the on Michael put a link to. Maybe we should move this to php5 question+oscmax rc3

Hi,
Nice effort! I did try this one out.
Installation went smooth. When adding products to the cart, it doesn´t get populated with products though.
Just an empty cart.
