PHP register_globals

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



i have to agree.  use a different package that does not open your

anyone who wants to use your server to host nasty sites amongst other 
things.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
