Script called without the required parameter(s). db_input.ph

[arachnae]

:?   When trying to upload a picture I get the above error message, e.g.

Script called without the required parameter(s).

File: /home/httpd/vhosts/lestreghe.org/httpdocs/coppermine/db_input.php - Line: 39



Line 39 is actually a blank one, but here are the ones before and after:


define('DB_INPUT_PHP', true);


require('include/init.inc.php');


What's wrong?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Sorry, that is not line 39.

Possible reasons:

1. You are calling the script from somewhere other than the upload form.  

2. You have register globals turned on in php.ini.

3. You are using a very old version of PHP.

Yes, I checked with php.info.

I do not have access to php.info or apache - does this mean I'm out?  
Unluckily it's a cheap virtual hosting - unlimited mysql databases but non-existant tech assistance....

Any other workarounds?

Yes, if your host is using Apache, you can change register globals on a per directory basis.

You would open a text editor and type:

Code Select Expand


php_flag register_globals off  


Then save the file as:

Code Select Expand


.htaccess


N.B.: There is no extension.

Place the file in the Coppermine directory, and see if it works.

Out of curiousity, will the site focus on teaching Wicca?

Great, I can make a .htaccess file - thanks, I'll try it now


> Out of curiousity, will the site focus on teaching Wicca?

I can't really qualify as a teacher, I have rather an interest, as it's sometimes called, but I have oftened helped others to recall stuff in their lives by simply talking about it and especially lending books, so there is half an idea to do something about education.

But for now I use the server mostly to use other domains (www.emeraldvalley.net and the other sites connected to it, under construction).
