#21015 [Asn]: phpweb isn't register_globals safe

ID: 21015 User updated by: toni dot viemero at iki dot fi Reported By: toni dot viemero at iki dot fi Status: Assigned Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 4.3.0RC3 Assigned To: goba New Comment: So it seems. We had a global override for register globals in php.ini, so I was checking the site with register_globals On anyways :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-14 08:54:09] goba@php.net Erm, you have probably not checked too closely. There are some pages still dependent on register globals, like the search.php and the cal.php pages. So I am not going to remove this requirement yet from the mirroring guidelines, until I have time to fix those problems too. The search stuff will need time, but until it is fixed, the URL shortcuts are not working and the search box is not functional, so it is not recommended to remove register_globals yet from the mirror config. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-11 05:01:39] toni dot viemero at iki dot fi I removed register_globals from Apache config and everything seemed to work ok. Closing bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-09 12:10:33] goba@php.net I was working on this staff the last days, and I am getting confident that there are very few pages left (if any) which depend on register_globals. It would be nice if you would be able to check and report on it ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-02 15:28:46] goba@php.net I am on this. But it is a slow process... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-14 13:40:07] goba@php.net I have added two functions to prepend.inc to support register_globals = off setups. Those can / will be used to enhance scripts in phpweb... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
