PHP 4.2.1 released

i think VB devs waited for this release to make sure VB226 is performing well under.

While I can't speak for them I don't believe that was the case.

I also don't see anything in the changelog about not being able to turn register_globals on...

TECK	05-16-2002 08:57 AM

thanks for the info kevin.
lol.. i cant login anymore in VB (localhost) with PHP421. nice :)
i have turned ON register_globals... same thing.

TECK	05-16-2002 09:01 AM

hmm... i did a phpinfo(32) and everything is ok.
any ideas? i installed several times the binaries on my pc and i never had problems.

TECK	05-16-2002 09:03 AM

man, this is the wierdest thing. i can access my admin CP but i cannot login on my main forumhome page????

EDIT: ok. i closed all browser windows and reopened the forumhome... now everything is ok. any ideas why it did that? not letting me login?
i was getting the Password Recovery Form every time i was attempting to login. it got me freaked for few minutes.. especially that i accesed without any problems the admin CP.

i also turned OFF the register_globals. everything is fine, except that i have a Guest on forumhome sitting like a duck. i'm getting spooky... hehe... anyway, seriously talking, what the register_gloabls affect in VB if turned OFF? thanks for the info.

vB will stop working entirely without register_globals.

TECK	05-16-2002 10:03 AM

yes, you are right, kevin. i restarted apache. nothing works.
what do we do with the webhosts who will not turn ON the register_globals? since is OFF by default? let me quote from the php.ini file:

Quote:

; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
; register_globals to be on.
; Using form variables as globals can easily lead
; to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.

hmmm... i just spoked on the phone with my host. they say that they cannot turn ON the register_globals as a per/user feature. i'm signed with tera-byte.com, probably the best hosting company in canada.

my RAQ is ok for now. i have PHP412 on it so i will be safe for a while. however, they plan to update the 412(patched) to 421 in about 2 months. can we expect a fix in this area related to register_globals and vBulletin?

i have an owner license.
