osCommerce & Register Globals

[wrlucas]

Hello,

Firstly thankyou for your fine free hosting service.

I installed osCommerce, using Fantastico, and everything seemed to go fine.
However I am getting an error when accessing the site:

"Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory."

Are you able to fix this for me please ?

It is for the site thg.x10hosting.com.

thanks again, bill

Register_globals is a security risk i dont think there is a way for it to be turned on....my website required it too and if memory serves Corey said that it will not be allowed on

Any webhost who has concerns for security will never enable register_globals. And any responsible developer will never presume register_globals to be on.

There is no chance of this being enabled, sorry. Perhaps you could look on the osCommerce site to see if there's a workaround?

Register globals poses a huge security risk and won't even be an option in PHP6 as far as I know. Sorry but we can not enable it.
