REGISTER_GLOBALS is a requirement for osCommerce to work. Without it you are sunk.

If anyone out there has some good news on this, I havent heard it...

Ask your host to turn register_globals=on in PHP.INI and all vhost in hpptd.conf as off except for your site which needs it on.

Newer version of PHP have this turned off as a default where it was normally on. There is a "security problems" with this turned on ONLY if your not doing proper checking of input variables - ie: BAD PROGRAMING.

There is NO harm in this turned on and using OSC.

If your HOST is not willing to FIX this for you I am sure AABOX can do it....or PM me for other suggestions....

in your htaccess files in both your http and https dir. add this line to force globals on

Code:

php_value register_globals 1

That is it!

This ONLY works if they allow it....... It still has to be turned on for the server (but off as a site default - and allow change).

Hi!
I got register globals off at my host and OScommerce works fine, except for easy populate - I suppose bad programming...? It seems as the variables $usrfl_name and $localfile is empty when uploading a file - everything else works. Have anyone solved this problem?

Hi,

I am trying to run the install from

http://<site>.com/store/catalog/install/

and I keep getting

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

I have set register_globals = On in php.ini and even rebooted the machine and restarted apache and I still get this error.

Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks a ton!

Check if register_globals is 'on' somewhere else in the same file. I know this sounds foolish. But once I had found out that php.ini file makes register_globals on/off at 2 different lines. Give it a try. And do save your file after making the modification

Sites on php4 need to change in the .htaccess lines at the bottom from
#<IfModule mod_php4.c>
# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
# php_value register_globals 1
#</IfModule>

to
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
php_value register_globals 1
</IfModule>

This worked for me on a site that was running on php4
