------------------------------------ $_USE_SCEURE_SCRIPT_PASSING VARIABLE ------------------------------------ ----------- DESCRIPTION ----------- THIS IS AN ADVANCED FEATURE VARIABLE This variable is set to 0 (zero) by default. It may be enabled (set to 1) on web servers which support Apache's mod_rewrite environment variable creation functionality via the [env|E=VAR:VAL] method. Unfortunately, many commercial web hosts do not have this capability enabled. For those that do, however, secure script passing may be enabled and used in place of the ?PTM_SCRIPT=script.ptm method in Standalone/Emulation installation mode. After enabling this feature the "?PTM_SCRIPT=$1" may be removed from the last line of the accompanying .htaccess file. To find out if your host supports secure script passing, access the /ptm_test/index.ptm script in your web browser after installing PTM in Standalone/Emulation mode and look for a variable called REDIRECT_PTM_SCRIPT in the %_SERVER variable list. If it is listed, secure script passing is possible. Due to security enhancements in PTM 0.5.0 Beta, there is no security risk in using either method. The only advantage gained in using secure script passing is enabling the @_KEYWORDS solo entry keyword method which is otherwise only available in full server integration installations. -------- SEE ALSO -------- VARIABLES @_KEYWORDS
