enabling both $_GET['variable'] and $variable

[1510982]

Which settings should I change so that both methods would work (backwards compatibility). I'm using Apache on WIN32 platform with PHP 4.3.0 installed. Thanks in advance, L.

Set [tt]register_globals[/tt] to [tt]on[/tt].

Thanks, not it works. For anybody, experiencing the same problem, find php.ini-recommended in you PHP directory and save it as php.ini. Then find register_globals and set it to On, as Daniel suggested.

Have fun!

You advice is good, but should be more general. I have found of late that some installations of PHP (for example, on some BSD variants), the file you must copy to php.ini will be called php.ini-dist.

In any regard, once you had a php.ini file, danielhozac's recommendation worked, no? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

Yep, it work alright. That was a stupid typing mistake from me to write - not it works - I meant to say "now it works". As other installations of PHP are concerned, I didn't have any clue about different procedure upon setting the register_globals to on in the .ini file. I hope somebody would find that useful. Regards, L.

On a Windows install, there is both php.ini-dist & php.ini-recommended

I guess the recommended one is a little more secure because it will likely have a lot more disabled.

Hope this helps Wullie
