$HTTP_POST_VARS - more developer than install problem i thnk

[envy2000]

I have been having a problem with my install that i think is server, or php specific. I have tried installing ms1. I have looked everywhere for a solution.

 

I think it has to do with $HTTP_POST_VARS

 

To trace what was happening with the script below, I put the echo "a"; line in the code. This of course resulted in header errors. I then removed the echo "a"; line, and the HTTP_ var was set. I tried resubmitting a second time (with the echo "a"; line gone) and it didn?t register until pasted line in, posted again (got header error), removed echo "a"; line and refreshed.

 

Here is the code that is causing the problem. Register globals is on.

 

line 335 application_top.php

// customer adds a product from the products page

case 'add_product' : if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']) && is_numeric($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'])) {

$cart->add_cart($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $cart->get_quantity(tep_get_uprid($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']))+1, $HTTP_POST_VARS['id']);

echo "a";

}

 

install is here.

Your host probably has upgraded to PHP 4.3

Thanks for the suggestion

 

I am using php 4.2.3

OSC MS1

Globals on.

In .htaccess I added this.

<IfModule mod_php4.c>

php_flag register_globals On

php_flag track_vars On

</IfModule>

I did find and replace of variables as suggested.

 

I still get this error when i add to cart>

shoppingcart Object ( [contents] => Array ( ) [total] => 0 [weight] => 0 [cartID] => [content_type] => )

 

Your Shopping Cart is empty!

 

Any other ideas?

from the thread:

 

anyone running PHP v4.3:  

Change all instances the superglobals to their new versions  

 

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS -> $_SERVER  

$HTTP_ENV_VARS -> $_ENV  

$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS -> $_COOKIE  

$HTTP_GET_VARS -> $_GET  

$HTTP_POST_VARS -> $_POST  

$HTTP_POST_FILES -> $_FILES  

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS -> $_SESSION
