Re: ./configure with register_globals turned on?

Hi Scott, I've come to this post a little late, but I had exactly the same problem. No matter what I set php.ini, phpinfo() would not show changes. If I recall correctly, the problem sort of 'disappeared' by itself. I finally resolved it by rebooting immediately after setting the new php.ini (this was on Linux-Mandrake 8.2). Further, if I recall, (and this was three months ago) I think I re-installed PHP, but it made no difference. Make sure Apache is 'off' before you attempt to change php.ini. Also, in my config, there was another php.ini hidden in /etc/httpd -- do a 'locate' to see if you have multiple copies! I had a lot quirky things happen while trying to configure PHP 4.1.1. and a few with 4.1.2. For some odd reason, after a few attempts it does work. Try again, would be my advice. It'll work sooner or later :> You might want to run a test to see if globals are really 'on' or 'off' -- I really don't trust the phpinfo() output!
