register_globals problem in php script

[blaszlo]

Hey guys,

I have a huge problem with a website I'm hosting, and I'm not sure where to go. I installed a php shopping cart some time ago on a customers website. The shopping cart had an admin panel so we can add/remove products, change the color scheme, add logos and pictures, etc. All of a sudden, the shopping cart still works, but the admin panel does NOT. When I go the admin pan, it gives me this on the screen...

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.

I don't want to turn register_globals in the php.ini file because that affects the whole server and could be a sucurity issue, register_globals has a vlue of 1 in the .htaccess file already which leads me to believe that there is some sort of other problem involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

What shopping cart is it? OS Commerce?

For the shopping cart software to still require Register Globals kind of worries me as that's a big no-no in PHP. Is there a more recent version of the script you can upgrade to?
