Ikonboard 3.12a is cgi (perl) based not php based so shouldn't be affected.

Re: [FQuest Announce] PHP4 to PHP5 Upgrades November 2008
The simplest solution is to add the following line of code to .htaccess in root web directory:
php_value register_globals 1
For those running osCommerce, add the following two lines:
php_value register_globals 1
php_value register_long_arrays 1
That should give you a little breathing room. If you're starting a new install, don't use this .htaccess solution, but most of the "patches" that I am seeing are nothing more than makeshift register_global work-arounds that really don't improve security... in other words, you don't gain a whole lot for your efforts versus the .htaccess solution. Of course, PHP6 doesn't allow a .htaccess over-ride, but hopefully it won't be an issue by then.

If using an override to have register_globals set to On with PHP5, it is recommended that you do so only in the software directory that requires it and that the override is used only as a temporary measure.

We do not know as we don't run oscommerce - that is something you would need to check with the software developers on...

Re: [FQuest Announce] PHP4 to PHP5 Upgrades November 2008
Work is now underway and the 1st project is shifting off all those that requested to remain on PHP4 to the new Apache 1.3.41 + PHP 4.4.9 engines... Unfortunately this is going to take a bit of time due to a last minute influx of requests...

Look forward for updates as I am waiting to see whether any unexpected problems pop up.

Ditto. Will you be posting which servers are being worked on so we can follow along, troubleshooting accounts on those servers?
