I was attempting to modify register_globals value in my vhost config file like i used to do with PHP 4.1.X + Apache 1.3:

php_value register_globals On / Off

It didn't work with PHP 4.2.0 RC/3 even if i didn't get any error message (the value just didn't get changed)

i tried using php_flag register_globals On / Off, but i got an error message when attempting to restart apache:

Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Same thing with php_admin_flag

I had to use php_value register_globals 1 / 0 to get it to work.

I'm running Apache 2.0.35 on Windows XP professional, with PHP 4.2.0 RC/3.

I also have this problem under FreeBSD with Apache 2.0.35 and PHP/4.3.0-dev, and I have a working patch.  I don't know where to sedn it or how to attach it.  If someone could email me where to send it, I'll send it.

got no error message by adding 
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  php_flag register_globals on
</IfModule>
However.. it has no effect at all.

I tried to change the name for mod_php4.c to php4_module
,mod_php3.c,mod_php42.c but it seem that since with 
apache2 we dont need to specify AddModule mod_php4.c
I dont know if its appache that doesnt go in the If Statement or if it is the php module that ignore the 
apache directive.

It only work with php_value outside the if statement. 
as mentionned by katana.


Im using Linux-Apache2.0.35 with php4.2.0

The same here:

FreeBSD 4.6-PRERELEASE (~ 01 May 2002)
PHP 4.2.0
Apache 2.0.35

php_flag in .htaccess produces an error by means of unrecognized command or something.

php_value works fine.
