register_globals weirdness
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 11:57 am
I recently upgraded both my test system and the production web server with apache 1.3.34 and php 4.3.0. Both systems were configured identically, ie. same build flags and sequence, although one is Solaris and the other is OpenBSD.
The Solaris system doesn't seem to be honoring the register_globals Off setting in its php.ini file, but the OpenBSD production server sure is. As a result, stuff I thought was working (on the test box) broke horribly when it hit production. Other than the php.ini, where could this value be set? I mean, is it defined as "on" somewhere else? Or have I missed something really major?
I just thought I had caught all the variables, but now I certainly know otherwise.
TIA,
John
