I've got a problem with register_globals settings. the phpBB 3/olympus appears to check for this value only in master settings, but does not reflect the local value
is there any way to override this ? I mean I have it set off locally but not globally ...
basically you need to go to your php.ini file.. and turn it off.. Mr Graham has outlined why this check was added, there isnt much else you can do about it.. Im not 100% sure whats the difference between locally and globally, im guessing your meaning localhost and your server.. If thats the case then maybe asking your hosting company to disable it for you would be the best policy..

well, I know the reason why this check was addeed. the problem is that you can set register_globals on a single domain and switch it off as well as you can set is a master value for the whole hosting.
the hosting company did switched it off localy for me, but globally i.e. for the rest it is switched on (master value).
so on my domain it is switched off (phpinfo()) shows it as well ...
the problem is how to force olympus to check only the local value ... and not the master value ..
We are still looking at what to do with respects to this code. The fact that the call to the PHP function that is supposed to return the value is returning the wrong value is interesting. I may later ask you to run a simple script and record what it returns so that we can see what it is doing
