Ok,
I've written a bunch of code assuming register globals are on. BUt the server that the site I did is going to be hosted on has register globals enabled by default. This sucks big time 'cos in a few of my scripts (previously) local variables ending up binding to session vars and screw things up. Now i don't want to waste time rewriting php code.....
Now, I googled and found out that .htaccess can solve this problem I tried the following as my .htaccss (I chmod'd it to 644 as well)
And get this error
Now this would work if AllowOverride Option was enabled for this account. I don't know how to confirm that this is the problem. Now, everyone is probably screaming email the system admin..... well the system admins are reeally really slow to react, they will take at least 3 weeks to respond to this (if at all)....
How can I work around this (w/o rewriting a whole lot of code)? Is there some php trick?
Or is there some other .htaccess trick? I know that some 'AllowOverride's like AuthConfig is turned on because I'm using that to control access to some site administration folders....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
added the poll for fun, hope it doesn't offend anyone 🙂
