Hi,
Yesterday I installed PHP 4.2.1 and SquirrelMail 1.2.6. I had a problem
with SquirrelMail; I got an error message every time I tried to log in.
It was choking on line 99 of display_messages.php (in the functions
subdirectory):
include_once($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $base_uri . 'functions/page_header.php' );
It seemed like $DOCUMENT_ROOT evaluated to nothing, which meant the script
couldn't find page_header.php.
A message to one of the SquirrelMail mailing lists gave me the idea to
change a line in the php.ini file. I changed
register_globals = Off
to
register_globals = On
Now everything works fine. I think a change that was made in PHP 4.2.0 may
be the cause:
The biggest change in PHP 4.2.0 concerns variable handling. External
variables (from the environment, the HTTP request, cookies or the web
server) are no longer registered in the global scope by default. The
preferred method of accessing these external variables is by using the
new Superglobal arrays, introduced in PHP 4.1.0.

Just FYI. If I've "solved" a problem that's already been addressed in the
port documentation somewhere, just disregard this message. :-)
