Question .htaccess and register_globals
Hello...

For OsCommerce to work, apparently one needs to enable register_globals. (??? What were they thinking ???) Anyway, been trying various methods in .htaccess to do this:

Code:

<Directory "/home/aether/public_html/shoppingcart">
   AllowOverride All
   php_admin_flag register_globals on
   php_admin_flag register_long_arrays on
</Directory>


These cause Misconfig 500 errors.

Have also tried:

Code:
php_value register_globals 1


Also error 500.

Any other ideas? I'm running CentOS. .htaccess definitely works, because I've used mod_rewrite... among other things.

Thanks.

if you have ssh access, edit php.ini
find this line:
register_globals = Off
change to:
register_globals = On

php.ini is usually located on /etc

Sorry, should have clarified: I don't want every CPanel account to have register_globals on, just one. Changing php.ini would modify the setting server-wide, which is an uber-no-no. Thanks for the response, but that's not what I want to do. Is there anything else in .htaccess that I should set?

Hmm nope, gives a Server misconfig error again.

Also tried changing "On" to "1". Didn't work.

Tree will become famous soon enoughTree will become famous soon enough
In the header or functions file of oscommerce place this:

PHP Code:
ini_set('register_globals', 'on');


register_globals can also be emulated using this code:

PHP Code:
// Emulate register_globals
if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
$superglobals = array($_SERVER, $_ENV,
$_FILES, $_COOKIE, $_POST, $_GET);
if (isset($_SESSION)) {
array_unshift($superglobals, $_SESSION);
}
foreach ($superglobals as $superglobal) {
extract($superglobal, EXTR_SKIP);
}
}

Have you tried creating a php.ini file and putting the directive into that. If I remember correctly if you have safe mode enabled php directives need t be in the php.ini file.

If this is the case you do not edit the main php.ini file you create a new 1 and enter the options into tha and place it in the root folder for that hosting package.

Using ini_set is not going to work, because by the time the script is executed, register_globals was already applied to the script. See: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php#19874

Tree: That second method would be great, and thanks for that code, except the shopping cart will display an error if the whole setting is 0 / off. I suppose we could just disable the display of that error and put that script on each page, though. Still an option.

Weblord: I can't edit the php.ini file, because I need this to apply only to the one cpanel account.

Interesting indeed! I will investigate using safe mode in the main php.ini and try this method. Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend safe mode. I believe using suExec offers this option, which would be better than enabling safe mode.

yes by all means. My post wasn't to recommend the option but rather to point out it is housed in a php.ini file if you are using safe mode. The op should look to see if he hs that enabled.

After much deliberation, I've decided to advise the guy using OsCommerce to use a different shopping cart package. OsCommerce is disgusting.
