Since last night, I have the same issue. Contacted my host, he's trying to figure out what's going on, but can't find the problem. It came all of a sudden, nothing has been changed.

 

Another problem with the script ?

first chk your php.ini file to infact make sure that the register_globals is Off.......


if it is in face off...try this...as i found it worked on a site i was working on....

goto CPANEL>PHP Config>select the PHP5 (Single php.ini).....click save changes...and then try your site.....

I'll get back to you asap.

Make sure the register_globals is off on your server. Leaving it On will bring is security risks.

As for me, the problem is also solved. Same host as Kingston, Gigapros.com. Must have been their settings, although they didn't give any explanation.

I must say, I had some problems with them lately. They changed the IP address for domain resolving without warning me. They transfer domains which causes extreme slowness of my site without warning me.

I wrote them an email asking for some explanation ...

I don't like it when web hosting providers do things that affect service without warning their customers. Media Temple (my host) lets us know of any planned downtime ahead of schedule (upwards to over a week).
