Hi Steve (and skunks). I am impressed that you are attempting to install Taesk CMS before I have published a installation guide. However I'm not sure you figured out exactly what your problem is (kind of hard for me to say exactly). Taesk CMS does infact require register globals to be disabled - and have been coded like this for several years - so that is clearly not the problem. Also I think you have something mixed up in your understanding about what register globals is. In short register globals is the option that, if enabled, allows you to use user submitted data directly as variables - and yes this is a major security issue (and generally not recommended in any php development). With register globals enabled you can write code like: $a = $searchInput // provided that you e.g. have a form field called "searchInput" With register globals disabled you instead have to write it like: $a = $_POST["searchInput"]; Further more you mention replacing "<?" with "<?php" this is _not_ register globals, but another php option called "short-tags" (or something close to that), Again I have to tell you that Taesk CMS does not require short-tags to be enabled - in other words all the code blocks should infact already be written as "<?php". I have personally not written code that required that option enabled since...... what ... 10 years ago when working in Icon Medialab... Anyway - end result is that neither of the things you experience as problems should be problems with Taesk, if you can provide a bit more detail about (exactly) what you have done I might be able to help you better... As an alternative wait for the install guide that should be released shortly. Regards Michael Pedersen Steve Obbayi wrote:
@Michael. Hi I'd really like to say good work on this one but unfortunately I am having trouble running this on my development server. The problem is this. For security purposes you may need to alter you code to be able to run on a server that has "Register Globals" disabled. I do not use Globals on my production servers neither do i use it on my development server. i can bet you there are millions of servers out there that have "Register Globals" disabled. Besides it is the default setting for the PHP installation
So you may need to step through your code and change all instances of "<?" to "<?php"
otherwise looking forward to be able to run it on my server.
