WHMCS CEO Matt Posted March 6, 2006 WHMCS CEO Share Posted March 6, 2006 This sounds very much like you don't have Register Globals enabled on the server. Hope that helps! Regards, Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 My host wont enable it... On these grounds: Register Globals and security Register globals do present a security risk to any application forced to run in an environment with them enabled. The fact that any person can send POST or GET variables that end up in memory for the code being executed on the server leads to all kinds of problems, if the developer is not aware of this feature. However phpBB have been aware of register globals for years now, with a number of phpBB exploits requiring register globals be enabled in order to function. As a result some nice code to unset any variables submitted using register globals is now present in all phpBB releases, and from my inspections works perfectly well. There have been issues with this before - but I don't see any current way of exploiting this protection and I don't see any huge amount of time in the future needing to be devoted to keeping this helpful security measure up to date. And of course, even if you remove this code, phpBB 3.x has been coded to minimise the impact of register globals in the first place. The fact that he wont enable puts me in a stupid position. Matt, do you think a version of WHMC without the need for register globals will be released any time soon? If not then..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted March 6, 2006 WHMCS CEO Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi, Register Globals being turned on is only a problem in badly coded scripts. If the input from variables is not rationalised then it can lead to problems but with sufficient error checking it is no more or less secure than any other script. It is just as easy for a user to post data to a script as it is to append it to an url. However, if your host will not enable it on the entire server then you can ask them to enable it just on your account with the use of a .htaccess file.
