Running osCommerce with Register Globals Off
There are several tutorials and contributions on how to run osCommerce with register_globals Off. However, all are very complicated, break compatibility with other contributions such as payments or delivery modules and are not compatible with both PHP4 and PHP5.
We made a very simple MOD, which allows you to run osCommerce on any PHP powered server with disabled Register Globals including PHP4 and PHP5. This MOD also work with register_globals = On, so if your provider changes the configuration of the web server without your knowledge, osCommerce powered shopping cart will remain untouched.
You need to apply this MOD especially, when you are receiving one of the following messages:
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.
FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!
