hi, im using a script that gives this error:

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.

the .htaccess file is here but which bit do I change?

Register global is on in this .htaccess:
php_value register_globals 1
change your php.ini file. To get the path of it use phpinfo() and change register_global from off to on or 0 to 1

how would I use phpinfo() to find the path?

Im on a dedicated server

Are you on a linux server? from a remote shell you can access the php.ini file. Simply use CD for that and vi editor to edit.

Ok, logged in to /etc/ (where my php.ini file is)

typed vi php.ini

now its just given me info on it, how do I edit and which bit?

You are in right place. To edit you have to go to the insert mode , using i. Search for register_globals and change it from off to on. hope this helps.
