Problem with php.ini file

Hello,


I'm trying to install a script and it needs register_globals = on.


I know about the security risk etc. and it should be off, but the
script will not run with it off.


I contacted my hosting company because I couldn't find the php.ini
file. They told me to create one and put it in the root.

The problem is I don't know exactly what is the root with all the
different folder.


etc 755
logs 750
mail 770
public_ftp 755
public_html 750
tmp 755
www 750
Create New File
.bash_logout 0 k 0644
.bash_profile 0 k 0644
.bashrc 0 k 0644
.contactemail 0 k 0644
.cpanel-ducache 0 k 0600
.emacs 0 k 0644
.ftpquota 0 k 0600
.lastlogin 0 k 0600
.zshrc 0 k 0644
php.ini 0 k 0644 <-------------- I put it here


I have one line register_globals = on in the php.ini file.

When I try phpinfo.php to show what is set, it shows that the
registered globals are still off. I tried putting it in www and then
public_html and then also tried to put in my add on domain folder, but
none worked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Your host should help you with this, if they don't, I'd suggest moving
to a competent web host. (Webcity.com.au springs to mind.)

Anyway, the php.ini file should be in *every* directory where you are
executing the script from. So if you're executing
http://www.domain.com/script.php, it would need to be in the www
directory. If it is at http://www.domain.com/dir/script.php, it would
need to be in www/dir/

Hope that clears things up for you.

Get a new script. If it's that old that it still requires register_globals to
be on, chances are it has other vulnerabilities, also.

php.ini may be in the path etc/php.ini


Is this path is not getting displayed by the phpinfo() method in the
browser..???

phpInfo() will tell you where the REAL php.ini file is
