Hello All, My shared server provider has register_globals on. I checked by running php_info(); from within a file. I would like to turn this off, but asking them to turn it off just for me will not work.
register_globals server variable values cannot be set with the help of ini_set function but Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf So just put the following lines in .htaccess file php_flag register_globals off php_flag safe_mode on Options -Indexes But for some reason it causes 500 Error on some hosts but not all. So the better option is to put the php.ini file in your home directory PHP always checks for php.ini in the root of the document before it checks elsewhere. Thanks Shabbir Bhimani
