you need to change this value in your php.ini file

If you are on a shared server and you are unable to access the php.ini file try this

you don't have access to it then

what you can do is to create one (Although the patch mentioned above is advised)

do the following

1. Create a file called php.txt in your root folder

2. Download the file, delete all code created when file was added and add the following in the file

register_globals = on;

3. Save and upload

4. Rename to php.ini

Try your site

If you get stuck try this

Hi
I am having the same problem, and couldn't find the php.ini file, so tried following the suggestions
1. "patch mentioned above" gives 404 error on the linking....so...
2. I created php.txt, and put line register_globals = on as the only text in the file, uploaded the file and renamed to php.ini in the 'catalog' folder
Result?
FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it! sad.gif
Any help appreciated
thanks

Thanks Mark

I checked the php.ini uploaded files (which Ive put into the catalog, install, and admin folders,which I read to do elsewhere on another post re "register_globals",)
and find that the semi colon is in place, ie the one and only entry in the file is:
register_globals = on;

It occurs to me, although none mention it, that I may need to put the line between

<?php
and
?>

so that the server gets a hint aboout the language being used.
Is that the case?. And should there be anything else
Im afraid that my experience is limited to html, and a little javascript, all in dreamweaver, so I may be ignorant of fundamental script requirements which the properly taught take for granted.
