Set global variables in your php.ini file to on and your webpost will rock the world!



:D

Where do i find the php.ini for those global variables?

[[GR] Cool K]

Should be in your php folder or your root folder or your windows folder...

Do a search for php.ini and you're rolling...

[dance]

Nope i search couldnt find that file anywhere : (

I searched TS2 directory where TS2 is hosted
I serached Webpost2 directory where website is hosted
I serached PHPNuke root directory where website is hosted

It works on the TS2 host site "XoO Server" http://www.cyberseals.net/portal/ts/listing.php

But it just dont work on my site! http://www.xenforcers.com/ts2/listing.php

I even tried stopping and restarting server but something happend it stopped fine but the script file was missing so i uploaded a copy i had saved but then i tried restarting it, it restared but with an error and it produced another pid file and i changed my TCPQueryPort= info to reflect the pid number.

Well - I've just made a search on my server - just to be sure - and as I said before....:

Look in the WINNT folder (if you're running a Win2k server :P)

Sorry - can't take you any further :(

Yeah mine is on a linux server

Thanks for the help

[Chew]

on a linux server, your PHP.INI file is in your /etc/ folder

im refering to my host server is using linux

i only have html directory access

[Chew]

Then it's very doubtful that you will be able to sway them into turning the global variables on.

I administer a few larger linux boxes and know that it's not the best practice to enable them.

I'm having the same problem not getting webpost to post to my site. I have looked for "global variables" and variations of it throught my php.ini file without luck.

Is this the first variable "register_globals" in php.ini?

In my php.ini file it looks like this...
(...I hope it helps ya' :D)

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Data Handling ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; Note - track_vars is ALWAYS enabled as of PHP 4.0.3

; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments.
; Default is "&".
;arg_separator.output = "&"

; List of separator(s) used by PHP to parse input URLs into variables.
; Default is "&".
; NOTE: Every character in this directive is considered as separator!
;arg_separator.input = ";&"

; This directive describes the order in which PHP registers GET, POST, Cookie,
; Environment and Built-in variables (G, P, C, E & S respectively, often
; referred to as EGPCS or GPC). Registration is done from left to right, newer
; values override older values.
variables_order = "EGPCS"

; Whether or not to register the EGPCS variables as global variables. You may
; want to turn this off if you don't want to clutter your scripts' global scope
; with user data. This makes most sense when coupled with track_vars - in which
; case you can access all of the GPC variables through the $HTTP_*_VARS[],
; variables.
;
; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
; register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead
; to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.
register_globals = on

Thanks [GR] Cool K.

Yes, that is what I thought it was. Unfortunately, this doesn't help with showing my server.

Also, the php.ini states multiple times that turning on global variables causes a security risk. Is webpost or a future version not going to need this?

Thanks,

NP Zero-Point...

I'm actually not sure what kind of risk having the global variables set to on...

Somebody might be able to explain it to us - wouldn't that be nice :D

Anyway - I think I've seen somewhere that with the new webpost global variables does not need to be set to ON - but I'm not completely sure about this...
I'm not hosting the webpost script anymore (rented a server instead) - so I don't have to worry about the risk and other stuff anymore :D

Feel free to point your server to my webpost for testing purposes... Hit it at http://www.b-more.dk/ts2/webpost.php :D
