RE: [PHP-INST] php.ini changes not taking

I'm not sure if my question was worded vaguely or if this is one of the mysteries of the great uknown. Am I asking this on the right list? Instead of troubleshooting this issue further is there a configuration option which will force register_globals to be "On" when I compile php? If there is I'll just rebuild and be done with it. Thanks for any and all assistance. - Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: Stembridge, Michael [mailto:MStembridge@exchange.webmd.net] > Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 7:48 PM > To: php-install@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-INST] php.ini changes not taking > > > I'm almost at my wits end with this problem.
