Re: [PHP] '--enable-track-vars' & php.ini file on Mac OS X From: Stefan Rusterholz (lists <email protected>)

Hi

I suppose you mean register_globals is off and should be on, right?
Ok, to make this short, do following: create a file "php.ini" on your
desktop and write following into it:
register_globals=on

Make sure you have unix-linebreaks (use BBedit for example, or pepper)
and a linebreak at the end of the line. Save the file and open the
terminal. Enter
root
cp /Users/<yourname>/Desktop/php.ini /usr/local/lib/
apachectl restart

Now try it again. Register_globals should now be on. As another one has
written, enable_track_vars is always on. I use the same installation
(entropy.ch) for php :)
