Re: locally enabling register_globals?

Well, I have this in my .htaccess file, so it SHOULD work, but this will depend if your host allows things to changed via .htaccess. <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_flag register_globals on </IfModule> You can place this in your root directory, and it will work for your whole site, or place it further down the file hierarchy to only work from a certain directory down. Once you've done that, I'd recommend doing the OPPOSITE on your local test server: <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_flag register_globals off </IfModule> And spending some time updating your scripts and libraries to suit the "new" way -- I had heaps of stuff that didn't work, updated it all, and I really do prefer the "new" way, because I know where every var comes from.
