Re: upgrade problems

http://www.php.net/manual/sv/printwn/language.variables.predefined.php -or this- <quote from the docs> In PHP 4.2.0 and later, the default value for the PHP directive register_globals is off. This is a major change in PHP. Having register_globals off affects the set of predefined variables available in the global scope. For example, to get DOCUMENT_ROOT you'll use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] instead of $DOCUMENT_ROOT, or $_GET['id'] from the URL http://www.example.com/test.php?id=3 instead of $id, or $_ENV['HOME'] instead of $HOME. </quote> Brad Bonkoski wrote: > This should be a FAQ! > I would say it would point to register globals being turned off in php.ini for > the newer versions of php. > > check this pages for more information: > http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php > -Brad > > abw wrote: > > > This week we upgraded our solaris 8 server using apache 1.3.27 from php > > 4.1.2 to 4.2.3, and it seemed to install fine.
