How can I turn on register_globals?
Now, all new Surpass Servers are set to register_globals=off by default. However, you can still turn on register_globals for your own website. This is very simple and will be explained in the steps to follow. To turn on registers_globals we will make use of the following file-types:

* .htaccess
* php.ini

Step 1: Edit .htaccess
First let us begin with the .htaccess file. This step does not require you to be very familiar with htaccess so we shall proceed.

* Add the following line to your .htaccess file (this file can be found in your public_html folder... example: yourdomain.com/.htaccess):

PHP Code:


			
php_flag register_globals on

Step 2: Add php.ini File
Important: Only apply the following instructions to the directory of choice within your website. For example: if you only want register_globals enabled in yourdomain.com/production/process/ ... then only apply the following directions to the process folder.

* Add the following php.ini file to the directory of choice:

Assuming that you have phpsuexec running on your server then you will need to complete this step. Otherwise your browser will return a 500 error. If you are unsure how to create a php.ini file, no worries, here it is for you pre-made: php.ini

PHP Code:


			
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;Important: You must use this file or a ;;;;
;variation thereof if you have phpsuexec;;;;
;running on your server                 ;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
;Insert this file into the directory of your
;choice where you'd like 'register_globals
;to be turned on.
register_globals=on

Step 3: A Caution
Surpass Hosting has decided to have register_globals set to off as a default for a reason. When register_globals is enabled it opens the door to several exploits that can be carried out through injection methods which can easily render your data compromised. You have been forewarned.
