[PHP] Re: php.ini question
does phpinfo(32) show the $action variable anywhere? If so just use the global array variable it shows up under. Personally I'd just use the $_GET['action'] alias. You can safely turn register_globals on if you're the only guy that runs scripts on that server and your scripts will never have to run on a server where it is off. If not you should do it for yourself in .htaccess or with ini_set(). Just be sure you are careful to initialize all internal variables that don't come directly from user input. - Original Message - From: "Joe Kupiszewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: php.general To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 12:56 PM Subject: php.ini question > I didn't do the installation, but the phpinfo() shows the following: > > version - 4.2.3 > > ./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' > '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' '--enable-versioning' > '--with-regex=system' '--without-gd' '--without-mysql' '--with-zlib' > '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd4.7' > > and the php path info is listed as > /usr/local/etc > > I do have root access as this is not a production machine, but for the life > of me cannot seem to get it to read the php.ini file.

document root is where your webserver gets his files from. Default on Apache is htdocs. Hope this helps, Andy http://www.globosapiens.net Global Travellers Network! "Taylor Lewick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... When setting doc_root in the php.ini section, should that be the cgi-bin directory, or the doc-root of the webserver, i.e. htdocs..?
