Is register_globals turned ON in starter Yahoo Web Hosting account?

Question

I have the Yahoo Web Hosting Starter account. I need register_globals set to ON. Is this how it's set? Thanks!

Answer 1

We turn off register_globals on our servers, as to have this enabled globally is a security risk.

You can turn it on for your individual web sites by entering the following into a .htaccess file:

php_flag register_globals on

The .htaccess file should be in your public_html folder.

Some of our servers are running PHPSUEXEC, this means PHP executes as the "real user". This enables us to track spam and exploited sites with greater efficiency. It does not affect site usage, but it does mean to enable register_globals you need to do something different. Remove any references to register_globals in your .htaccess files and create a file called php.ini in this file put the following:

register_globals = On
