Online shop help/ Registerd globals

[thebigos]

I have read the fourms and lernt that it is a risk to have globals turned on so i have been following this page so you dont need it for my script,
http://www.magic-seo-url.com/oscomme...obals-off.html
Now when i go to my page to install it comes up with,
http://thebigos.x10hosting.com/HTML/catalog/install/
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/thebigos/public_html/HTML/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 19

Can any one see what ive done wrong?

[vTech]

can u post up the codes to application.php starting from line 1 to 30
seems like a simple editing mistake...

[javayathzee]

yeah, please post the code so we can get an idea of what line 19 is

[woiwky]

They have an error in the code here:

http://www.magic-seo-url.com/oscomme...obals-off.html

Wherever you see "&amp;", replace it with "&". And wherever you see "&lt;", replace it with "<". You can do this quickly by just using a Replace All after copying the code from that page.

As I said in my previous post, you need to replace the html entities. Also, it looks like there's some useless code with those require statements at the bottom. I believe this would work as intended:

Hi, Thanks for reply ive just tryed that code and now this error comes up,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/thebigos/public_html/HTML/catalog/install/includes/application.php on line 33

[woiwky]

Just delete the right curly brace that's on that line.

[thebigos]

hi i got rid of that then was able to install it now when i go on the cat or admin i get this come up.

Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory.

You probably need to upgrade to the Intermediate version of php. You can do that by requesting it at your account control pannel.
