Joomla: Register Globals

Getting this message on your Joomla Admin?

Following PHP Server Settings are not optimal for Security and it is recommended to change them:

• PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`

Please check the Official Joomla! Server Security post for more information.

You see this because your server is enabling register globals. Why? A lot of scripts still require php register globals to be on. However you can disable it for Joomla fairly easily. Just follow this steps:

1. Create local file named php.ini
2. Edit php.ini and write this code:

   [PHP]
   register_globals = Off
   

3. Save and close.
   
4. Upload it to public_html and public_html/Administrator
   
5. Test it.
