Joomla: PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`
24 April 2007
This is tutorial for joomla problem, cause usually when you just installed joomla, some of you may get this notice:
PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`
What to do? this is an easy step by step to fix that problem:
- make .htaccess file in your Joomla site’s root and add this lines:
# Offers protection during hack attacks by NOT disclosing error
# messages, server paths, et cetera, and turns off your globals.
php_flag display_errors off
php_flag register_globals off
- make “php.ini” in your Joomla site’s root and add this lines:
register_globals = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = On
- open your globals.php file, and change the line:
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 1 )
to
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 )
now, your register globals is OFF!

There is already an .htaccess in my root file. When I try to change or create another, there comes a big error in my site. What can I do?

I’m having the same problem.. Any suggestion. I did email my web hosting service to see if they can shut if off from the Apache root level.

You Brilliany Guy !!
Had a bit of challenge to get the .htaccess sorted, i tried to upload it to my pc and save it. It refused because Windows needs an extension to the file. So I added the lines in a text file eg - happy.txt , i then uploaded to the site, i then used ftp software ( eg. Smart Ftp) to rename it to .htaccess ( without anny extension , this is important else it does not work). The php.ini is just a normal text file and can be created on the pc and named - php.ini , upload it to the folder. Finally, I used my Dreamweaver Cs3 to open the global.php, inserted the code you advised, and what do you know - GLOBAL IS OFF.
You a star, thanks, my clients will all be safer from today onward.
