Thanks, I'll check that out.&nbsp; I just read in a forum that if you put a php.ini in the home directory (I assume DocumentRoot) that PHP reads that one first.<br><br>Seems like a security risk to do so.<br><br>See http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=397 <br><br>could that be so?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Keith<br><br><b><i>Edward Norton &lt;r00t3d@gmail.com&gt;</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <span class="gmail_quote">On 1/1/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">keith smith</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:klsmith2020@yahoo.com">klsmith2020@yahoo.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Thank you for sharing this information.&nbsp; If one is on shared hosting there is not way to turn off registered globals via the php.ini ...

 is some code when added to one's code that it will over ride this.&nbsp; I this correct, and if so can you explain it.&nbsp; I looked on google and could not find it...  <br><br>Thanks,<br><span class="sg">Keith</span><div><span class="e" id="q_10fe061a4aca6a5e_2"><br></span></div></blockquote>Correct, on shared hosting, one cannot modify the php.ini file. However, you can<br>add "php_flag register_globals off" to your root .htaccess file. <br> ---------------------------------------------------<br>PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us<br>To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change  you mail settings:<br>http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss</blockquote><br><BR><BR><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keith Smith </span><br><span style="background-color: rgb(192, 0, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">A link from my website to yours</span><br><a href="http://www.dophoenix.com/submit.php">Submit Your Metro Phoenix
