Hi all,

I'm trying to apply security updates to my site. I have backed up everything, but when I try to run update.php, I get the following message:

register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings. (Currently using PHP register globals Enabled ('1'))

I opened my php.ini file and changed the following line in Dreamweaver from:

register_globals = On

to

register_globals = Off

I saved the file and uploaded it to my FTP and replaced the old file. When I go to my update page, I still get the same message.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Where can I find the information for the version of PHP I'm using? I was not the one who built this website. I logged onto phpMyAdmin and on the righthand side it says Version information: 3.5.5.

I don't suppose this is what you mean?

no. That is the version of phpmyadmin which aids in database administration.

check your drupal status report @ admin/reports/status

Are you sure you are using the right syntax?

try setting to 0 rather than off.

check your change in phpinfo by using the more information link in the PHP row of the status report
