My opinion - OScommerce is dead. Your best bet is to change carts because the developers are headed blindly to the edge of the cliff in their refusal to write it to operate in a register globals=off environment. The next version of php will not even contain the function. Its something thats been coming for the past 6 years and every other reputable developer has migrated over years ago.

We have a server it can run on which has register globals set to on, but that server and every server like it will likeley end up being hacked, and with register globals on its a gaping security risk waiting to happen. Also none of the supposed patches work reliably.

Anyone that wants to install it and deal with hours of trying to get it to work is perfectly welcome to do so but when the developer refuses to bring it into this century its probably a waste of time.
