how to solve this problem with REGISTER_GLOBALS='On'

Hi,

The CRM application said that need to add an option
"REGISTER_GLOBALS=On" to the php.ini file, so I did what it told.
But I still can't get rid off the following error:

The PHP variable "REGISTER_GLOBALS" is disabled (0). This is fatal.
Edit your php.ini and set REGISTER_GLOBALS to "On".

I changed the value "On" to "Yes", still getting the same error.
What is the correct way to fix this problem? It might be not reading the
php.ini file. The php.ini file is located at /usr/local/etc/ directory,
and I have also made a symbolic link to /etc/ as well.

The relevant content of the php.ini file is:

[php]

REGISTER_GLOBALS='yes'

......


Thanks
sam

Try not using quotes.

register_globals = On

instead of

register_globals = 'On'

Also, make sure you restart the server after making the changes.

This should be:

register_globals=on

I am suspecting also that it may not be reading the ini file. Try
renaming the ini file, and see if php fails. Is there another ini
file. Can you search?

To find out which php.ini file PHP thinks it is using, create a file
called "info.php" in the root of your website with the text:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

If you then browse to info.php, you'll find the php.ini file's directory
listed near the top.

Did you restarted your httpd service?

Personally I wouldn't use anything that still needs register_globals..
The author should fix their software, rather than force you to enable
autoglobals..

Just my $0.02 worth..
