#32453 [Csd->Opn]: Confusing faq about emulating register_globals

ID: 32453 User updated by: holliwell at gmx dot net Reported By: holliwell at gmx dot net -Status: Closed +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: n/a PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Hi, The manual says very clear, that you cannot change register_globals with ini_set, because it is changeable PHP_INI_DIR: register_globals "0" PHP_INI_PERDIR PHP_INI_ALL in PHP <= 4.2.3. Conclusion: using ini_set('register_globals', 'what_ever_value') has no effect, no?

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. It's for telling the rest of the script that globals are (not) registered (if tested with ini_get). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-25 12:19:02] holliwell at gmx dot net Description: ------------ Hi, http://de2.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.register-globals says register_globals is changeable PHP_INI_PERDIR. However the faq entry about "Emulating Register Globals" http://de2.php.net/manual/en/faq.misc.php#faq.misc.registerglobals uses statements like: ini_set('register_globals', true); and ini_set('register_globals', false); The purpose of this statements isn't really clear. The usage of this ini_set statements is conflicting with the explanation of register_globals in the manual and where and how this setting can be changed.
