Register Globals

[Mr.Fraud]

i was wondering what's this thing about register globals, and how can i turn it off using htaccess file? i did place a "register_globals = 0" in the htaccess file at the public_html section through editing the said file, but there is problems about internal server errors 500. am i using the correct code or codes that could be placed in the htaccess file has different in spelling or values than what can be seen in php.ini file?

i was about to install joomla and this option is optional nevertheless, i am not going to insist in this part since joomla will work even if this thing is on... i just need to careful though in adding more addons i guess due to some modules could carry exploits in my site. It's all curiosity in my part to what some things do and how things can be mended.

At LLP, PHP is run as a CGI module. This basically means that it is not integrated within the program that serves your webpages (Apache). It also means that you can not use .htaccess files to override php.ini settings.
Luckily, Trel took care of this issue, so you can change php.ini default settings. You basically place the php.ini settings that you want to override in a php.ini file and upload it.

oh yes, thanks for reminding me. i did somehow read this sometime ago somewhere, but i was a little bit of a noob there and doesn't know a thing about custom settings like globals. thanks for the help, now i won't be too much cautious adding more third party modules to a site.
