Important Info for GIFTLIST script Articles / PHP Scripts Posted by cyclone on Jan 14, 2006 - 12:16 AM |

There is the possibility you may encounter problems with the 'Giftlist' script, where the user profiles and wanted lists do not show up. This is caused by the script using something called 'register globals' (this was not used on the Football script, so there should be no problems there). Many hosts are now dissabling the use of register globals, which will cause the above problem. This is due to the possibility of someone finding an easier way to 'hack' a site using register globals. Unfortunately I don't have the time to change the script. The only other option is to turn 'register globals' on via the .htaccess file on your web host. NOTE: doing this could leave your site open to attacks, this is done at your own risk ! Here are the details of how to turn Register Globals on: If any client really needs register_globals to be "On" this can be done by adding the following line to a .htaccess file in the public_html directory: (open file with wordpad) php_value register_globals 1 Add the above line to the .htaccess file, save and upload overwriting the original (remember to keep a backup copy of the file!) |
