Texas Juan Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I did a search on the forums for register globals and the latest results were dated back to 2007. I was just wondering if register globals are still required to be "on" for WHMCS to work as of today's version, thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyhaber Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have seen a few servers running WHMCS with register global on. So yes WHMCS supports register globals being set on. Whether or not register globals should be set on is another question all together. PHP officially recommends it remains off: http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php I urge you to consider turning register globals off. If you can justify having register globals on and really can't live without it on then do it. However if you can avoid using register globals I would suggest doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little confused with your answer. I know WHMCS works with register globals "on". I guess my question should have been: Does the latest version of WHMCS work with register globals "off"? Because from the search results that I got dated back to 2007, register globals was required to be "on" for WHMCS to work properly. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyhaber Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 My apologies. I misread your initial post and believed you were asking if it still had to be on. To clarify: WHMCS works with register globals off or on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Though I'm sure you're aware, this is an interesting read: http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php WarningThis feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
