The php configuration in one of the webhosts I use does not allow for php_value in the .htaccess file. I'm specifically referring to these two lines:
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
php_value register_globals off
I asked the support staff if they could enable the php_value directive. Instead of allowing it they installed a php.ini file in the s9y subdirectory which has the following three lines:
register_globals = On
session.bug_compat_42 = Off
session.bug_compat_warn = Off
Then the php_value lines were removed from .htaccess. I'm no php expert, so the question is why is register_globals=on while in .htaccess, register_globals is off? Is this an oversight on their part or is this correct?
Your valuable advice is greatly appreciated.
