Register_globals is ON?

[dream1]

Ok, so I have an account at http://dreamscape.x10hosting.com on the Ciroc.x10 server. Now, I recently logged into Joomla and got the following message.

PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`

Now, if I am not mistaken, register_globals is suppose to be off. Can someone help me understand if register_globals is really on or do I need to go to joomla.org and post the issue there?

Also, I have gone in and tried using a .htaccess file to turn register_globals off, but that just makes my site inaccessible.

Make a new PHP script and see for yourself, because I'm not really sure. Include the following in the script and upload it to your account:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I get
Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/dream1/public_html/info.php on line 2

yes, phpinfo is disabled...

register_globals is off on all servers are we do not allow it to even be turned on by request. Not sure why it's telling you that it's on. My guess would be it's trying to use PHPINFO to see if it's on and not getting anything in return since it's disabled also.

Ok, just was checking to see if it was something that I need to worry about or just a random issue with the way the php is setup on the site. Will check with joomla to see if this is the case.
