Re: [Phpgroupware-users] felamimail "couldn't open stream" error -- solution!

[Dave Hall]

Thanks for the info, but register_globals = on is a documented
requirement for 0.9.14.  We are unable to use the superglobal arrays
($_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIES etc) as they are only supported from php
version 4.1+ and phpgw 0.9.14 must work with php3+.

Cheers

Dave
