folks, I am sure this Q has been asked before, but the mailing list search engine doesn't seem to work for me:(
I am new to SquirrelMail. Everything is up and running fine. I am running PHP 4.2.3 on Apache 1.3.27 on a UNIX machine. The only problem I have is that I am seeing this warning: Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0 When I looked into the whole register_globals issue ; 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 = Off Being new to PHP, I would prefer NOT to turn this on. What should I do?
