Re: setting register_globals off

Hi Catalin, I'm trying to decipher what can and cannot be set with ini_set myself and am slowly figuring it out :-) This cannot be set this way but rather it could be set through .htaccess so : this works in .htaccess : php_value register_globals off this will not work in script : ini_set("register_globals","off"); The latter will set the "local value" but it won't be of any use, it will remain "on" although if you do ini_get("register_globals") right below it it'll report them as "off" when in fact they are "on" There you have it. The answer is "NO" as, as quoted from a similar question awhile ago : "Directives that affect actions that are taken before a script is parsed, such as mangling EGPCS data, can not be changed by the script." - Rasmus This certainly falls into that category. Regards, be outside the box.
