I have installed Mandrake Linux and it comes standard with Apache PHP and MySQL. You can install all these rpms through the server selection....Anyway. In my test environment it is function city and of course register globals were on. Now I have Taked my PHP.INI-DIST set the globals to on and copied it to my /etc directory. It worked like a charm....but guess what. I can't create a connection string to my database. Now I have to find a solution to get this website to work with globals on and mysql. I have tried adding an .htacess with the php globals override thing php_value "register_globals" "1" Ok this didn't work. So I found the Mysql-PHP RPM on my mandrake cd (of course enabling my php.ini file) and it didn't work. I'm getting closer to a solution but I am stuck. Why won't the htaccess file work? I would like to use my php.ini file but it is not configured for mysql, how could I fix this? Is there anything I can do for either of these two questions to get my globals on? I swear I will never use functions again if someone helps me. :) Frank __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
