There are a small number of changes as PHP v5.2 is not fully backwards compatible with v5.1 - this is one of the benefits of using the operating system provided version as we have previously as this ensures that operationally, nothing ever changes on sites once they are set up. Our cPanel platform however will be kept fully up to date with the latest versions of PHP as they are released and so y should be aware of any changes between versions. Generally, if you're running the latest version of any script on your website then the script author should be prepared for this and there will not eb any issues.

Many thanks to Andy for pointing this out as it will likely be of great assistance to anyone else using this particular variable check method.

Another reason for your problems would be because register_globals is currently disabled on the new Cpanel platform and this will be the reason why you need to make these changes - You can get more information on this setting from their site at http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php which explains this in more detail.

Yes that's correct - But it's not the best idea really to have globals on i believe mainly due to this line



from php.net

That's one of thje reasons that we've disabled it. The Ensim / Parallels Pro control panel enables register_globals as default, however we adjusted this a few months back to disable it for all newly created accounts and specifically disabled them for all accounts on the cPanel platform as well.
