How can I turn off php’s register_globals option?

Question:

How can I turn off register_globals ?

Answer:

The method of turning of register_globals depends upon how you are running php. If you are using the default mod_php create a .htaccess file in your www directory and add the line :

php_flag register_globals off

You can also create multiple .htaccess files inside of different directories
and change the status of register_globals for different parts of your site.

If you are using one of the php-cgi versions, .htaccess will not work. Instead, create a directory called :

etc

in your home directory

and place a custom php.ini file in it. Inside the php.ini file, set register_globals to off.
