[help-GIFT] PHP problem (Partially Solved)

[John Restrepo]

Dear All,

I have been complaining to the list and to Wolfgang about problems with the 
PHP interface. I now know what's happening.
I have PHP 4.2.2, and since PHP 4.1.x they have introduced a BIG change in 
the way PHP processes global variables. When running old code, it requires 
register_globals = on in the php.ini, though it might have security 
problems (as it allows variables forging). There is a new, more secure 
method of dealing with global variables (see php4.1.x release notes). 
Moreover, a few functions are now deprecated or have changed functionality.

I have now part of the code working in PHP 4.2.2 (with register_globals = 
on). and I will eventually migrate the interface to a PHP 4.2.2 'neat' code.


Cheers,
