yeah I've found that register_globals on software is not ALWAYS bad. Insecurity is in the programming not the build. But here's what I've discovered:

Any script that the author uses a register_globals on script with has either:
A) issued an update by now to let the user run the script with globals off, or
B) Is not security minded, in which case I won't use the script.

If they just don't know HOW to update their script or haven't had the time I can deduce one of 2 things. Either they
A) Don't know what they are doing in regards to security, or
B) don't take security seriously enough.

Either way I won't use the script.

Like I said, if a script requires register globals on it does not necessarily mean it's an insecure script, but how do I know that?

ok i get this error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/html/vb/vbgallery/galleryconfig.php on line 49

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /www/html/vb/vbgallery/getuser.php on line 4

anyhelp?

id guess its a mis config in your settings i.e your pointing it to a non-existant dir :p

ok this is line 49
this is the line 4
neither of these lines were we suppose to edit, so is there something else to fix this?

There is definitely an issue here, I can replicate it as well.

Thanks for the script!! I've been waiting for something like this for ages.. finally an alternative to photopost!!

I'd love to see a working english version before I install this though

i hate stupid site like that imagemajik thingy, i can never find the link to what i want. can someone give me a direct link to the download

gaaaaaah

ok, i downloaded ImageMagick-5.5.4-1.zip
i took a look at it and have no idea how to install it on my server :(

My friend is going to fix so register_globals=on is not necessary but then you must have a late version of PHP instead.

He also thought that your error can be a missing ; somewhere. We are goint to look at it later today. Can you post your galleryconfig.php without the DB info ? It helps to find the error.
