osCommerce: Running with Register Globals Off

HowTo,

There are several tutorials and contributions about how to run osCommerce with register_globals turned Off. However, all are very complicated, break compatibility with other contributions such as payments or delivery modules and are not compatible with both PHP4 and PHP5.
We made a very simple MOD, which allows you to run osCommerce on any PHP powered server with disabled Register Globals including PHP4 and PHP5. This MOD also works with register_globals = On, so if your host changes the configuration of the web server without your knowledge, osCommerce powered shopping cart will remain running.

osCommerce: Session save path Fix

HowTo, ,

If you are using MySQL based sessions in your osCommerce installation and your PHP runs with Safe Mode set to On, you receive the following message:

Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is X is not allowed to access owned by uid Y in /path/to/your/oscommerce/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 149

We also recommend this MOD when your web server has Safe Mode Off too.
