Re: Localhost, PHP, and register_globals...and of course TxP
No, I meant creat a test.php with this code: <?php phpinfo(); ?>

Re: Localhost, PHP, and register_globals...and of course TxP
Sorry, Sencer, this is where my lack of dev knowledge is really going to shine…so I’ve created a file called test.php and I’ve filled it with that bit of code there above. Now what do I do with this file?
I just tried to open it in the browser from an arbitrary location and it did nothing, so that must be wrong. Again, sorry.

When you call it in a browser, you should see something like this:

Which one exactly are you turning off, Hedge? I’m seeing these global_registers to be down around line 370, does that jive with you?
Yep, that jives with me. xampp\apache\bin\php.ini. Line 385 for me.
- You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
- register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead
- to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.
register_globals = Off
It looks like we are using the same system. Wish I could help more.

Sencer, now that I see what I’m supposed to see, I realize that same information can more easily be found via the XAMPP main page, and by clicking the php() link in the left column. Voila! Then by looking at the Configuration File (php.ini) Path information you mentioned, I realized (thanks to HedgeHog’s path confirmation), that I have been messing with ini files in the wrong directory.
Hence, thanks to you both, gentlemen, for getting me there…php diagnostic now resolved!
My recommendation to future troubleshooters: Simply follow the link on your XAMPP main page to the php info, where you can then find the path to the exact file to edit.
