Fatal Error

[captjdl]

I have Rapid PHP 2007 8.0 running all apache services. When I go to preview a saved index.php page I get the following error.
FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!
I have no idea what or where this is?
I am very new to PHP so be easy with me!

Register globals means that you can access passed parameters 'directly' - eg, if you have the URL, 'mypage.php&harry=male', then there would be a $harry variable, which would contain 'male'.

Security wise, this is now discouraged, so the default setting of it off should be kept.
Does it do this for all .php files, or just this one you're testing? eg, create a .php file that contains <?php echo "test"; ?> and see if that works.

Thank you it was just on the page I was trying to test and I used the <php> and that worked thank you.

Instead of using a variable like $name, for instance, use {$_POST['name']} or {$_GET['name']} instead, depending on whether you used Get or Post to pass the variable.

Or before using $name you could have

$name=$_POST['name'];
