The register_globals value is something that cannot be set at runtime. If you pass it to ini_set(), it will appear to work -- you won't get an error and successive calls to phpinfo() will show the new value; however, by the time PHP gets far enough down the chain to execute your ini_set() command, PHP has already determined whether it should register global variables. The manual indicates that this wasn't always the case, but (not knowing the internals then or now) I don't understand how. (The table on that page says it was PHP_INI_ALL for versions up to 4.2.3.) http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.register-globals Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
