Bug #10540 Updated: ini_set doesn't work

ID: 10540 Updated by: zeev Reported By: jonas@understroem.dk Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: PHP options/info functions PHP Version: 4.0 Latest CVS (28/04/2001) Assigned To: Comments: ini_set() cannot affect the behavior of PHP that takes place before the script execution begins. Variable registration occurs before the execution of the script begins (the variables are available and accessible right from the 1st line in the script). So by the time you call ini_set(), variable registration is already done. Affecting it in any way (global registration, automated quotes) is not possible. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-28 16:43:31] jonas@understroem.dk ini_set does not seem to work with register_globals and magic_quotes. Example: You call a file and include the query string "test=hmm". Here is the code for the file: <?php ini_set("register_globals", "0"); echo "register_globals setting: ".ini_get("register_globals")."<br/>"; echo "$test value: $test"; ?> This will generate the following output: register_globals setting: 0 $test value: hmm Notice that the value "hmm" is still there even though register_globals is off according to the ini_get line. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
