Php.ini

[TonyK]

Can some one please tell me do the Unix servers have a PHP.INI and if so how do I get access to it. I have to install a php script and one of the requirements is php.ini.
Thanks

There is no access to the php.ini file in Unix as it is shared, but should be able to make any needed adjustments in .htaccess using php_flag or in the php code using ini_set. What script are you installing, and what are the settings you need to change?

I am also having difficulty. I have placed php_flag register_globals off in the .htaccess file. I also thought that since PHP 4.2.0 that the default was set to off in the php.ini file. 2.4.3 Patch 2 (2.4.3.507.20050721) included New hsphere-apache-webbox-1.3.33-5 with PHP 4.4.0 is included to H-Sphere installation.

Any thoughta why .htaccess is not being used?

I have found on php.net for which I will try next:
You can't use ini_set() to turn off register_globals. They've already been registered.

But you can fake it.

<?php
// Effectively turn off dangerous register_globals without having to edit php.ini
if (ini_get(register_globals)) // If register_globals is enabled
{ // Unset $_GET keys
foreach ($_GET as $get_key => $get_value) {
if (ereg('^([a-zA-Z]|_){1}([a-zA-Z0-9]|_)*$', $get_key)) {
eval("unset(\${$get_key});");
}
} // Unset $_POST keys
foreach ($_POST as $post_key => $post_value) {
if (ereg('^([a-zA-Z]|_){1}([a-zA-Z0-9]|_)*$', $post_key)) {
eval("unset(\${$post_key});");
}
} // Unset $_REQUEST keys
foreach ($_REQUEST as $request_key => $request_value) {
if (ereg('^([a-zA-Z]|_){1}([a-zA-Z0-9]|_)*$', $request_key)) {
eval("unset(\${$request_key});");
}
}
}
?>

I have register_globals set to off in half a dozen .htaccess files and in all cases it being turned off. If your looking at a phpinfo page the Local value should be Off while the Master value will still show On. Is your .htaccess file placed in /hsphere/local/home/username/yourdomain.com ?
