Hi, sorry for bringing such an old thread back but I notice my account shows PHP version 4.4.4, should it be 5?

Cpanel may show version 4 (bug in cpanel) to check create a file phpinfo.php in your public html Then put the following code into it.

PHP Code:

  <?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

If it is not version 5 You can use the extra's link in cpanel as stated above, or you can follow the manual directions in this thread.

Hi,

phpinfo shows PHP Version 4.4.4 and there is no extras link in my cpanel. So that means I need to use the htaccess method to update?

All the servers have both version 4 and version 5 installed, editing your .htaccess file is how you instruct the server on which version to use when interpreting your PHP scripts. By default it uses PHP 4, if you would like your scripts to use PHP 5 you'd have to edit your .htaccess file and add the appropriate line. Changes made to your .htaccess file are recursive too, so they'd apply for all files in sub-directories.

cPanel won't show that you're using PHP 5 since it's not located in your directories and is run using PHP 4. Once you add the line in your .htacces file to tell the server to use PHP 5 your phpinfo script should show that it's using version 5 instead of 4.

I can't seem to turn off magic_quotes_gpc off for "Flyspray" (bugtracker)

php.ini

register_globals = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
session.use_trans_sid = 0
short_open_tag = off
register_argc_argv = Off
register_long_arrays = Off
filter.default = "unsafe_raw"
always_populate_raw_post_data = Off

This php.ini is in my public_html/bugs folder (not my home directory)

This functionality is becoming increasingly popular in web applications today, and I don't see why it wouldn't included.

If this can't be done across all shared hosting servers, please make sure that the xslt modules for php5 are included in the updates on gator137.

The support team has been great, but I just dont want to keep creating the same ticket everytime there is an update.

Hello,

I too have a heap of scripts that require XSLT and they all fell over when the site was moved to PHP5. After some searching, I found this nifty little wrapper that makes my PHP4/XSLT stuff compatible with PHP5/XSL:
http://alexandre.alapetite.net/doc-a.../index.en.html

So, basically my scripts did the following with PHP4:
1. setup curl to retrieve xml-source
2. use xslt to parse out xml and create output

Now, my scripts do the following with PHP5 (with XSL module):
1. setup curl to retrieve xml-source
2. load the wrapper module
3. use xslt (in wrapper) to parse out xml and create output

I hope that helps someone out.

Regards.

Thanks for the link....

I have placed the following php.ini in my test/ directory

short_open_tag = Off
asp_tags = Off
safe_mode = Off
expose_php = On

max_execution_time = 30     
max_input_time = 60	
memory_limit = 32M   

register_globals = Off
register_long_arrays = Off

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

default_mimetype = "text/html"

enable_dl = Off

file_uploads = Off
upload_max_filesize = 10M

extension=php_xsl.dll

I was hoping to have the XSL extension ON for this directory but it is still OFF (http://www.peperuka.com/test/vdm/show_vdm.php).

PHP info for the same directory (http://www.peperuka.com/test/info.php) is showing PHP 5 (good) but loaded extension is XSLT (the one of PHP4 from webroot)...

What should I do to load the XSL extension for a specific directory (the directory that has PHP5).

Thank you
