Turning off Register_Globals

[ukgimp]

After scratching my head for a while baffled at why something would not work I stumbled across the use of super globals. I understand the concept and they sound like a good idea. However I cannot seem to be able to turn the register globals off in the php.ini. I set the tag to:

register_globals = Off

But when I run phpinfo() it still says ON?

This cant be an impossible situation. Any suggestions.

Cheers

How about doing some reading UKGIMP and discovering that the ini file is only read once you start the server so changes wont occur until you restart it. :)

Sorry folks

hey ukgimp,

Have a look at ini_set() [php.net] and other ini related functions on the left menu of that page. Nice stuff if you don't want to change things permanently. Especially useful is get_ini() to check the current setting.
