    $list = array('_COOKIE','_ENV','_FILES','_GET','HTTP_COOKIE_VARS','HTTP_GET_VARS','HTTP_POST_VARS', 'HTTP_POST_FILES', '_POST','_SERVER','_SESSION','_SYSTEM');

    foreach($list as $element) {

    if(!empty($$element) && is_array($$element) ) {

    extract($$element);

    }

    }



    if (phpversion() < "4.1.0") {

    $_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS;

    $_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS;

    $_COOKIE = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;

    $_SESSION = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;

    $_ENV = $HTTP_ENV_VARS;

    Your code is creating an environment like register_globals on. It is not displaying anything.

    I see error 500. Instead of calling the php functions in .htaccess, try creating a file called php.ini and putting them there. Then upload to web root.

    If u are on a Shared Hosting Then Most Probably you wont have access to the php.ini File. Only ur Admins can handle it.

    And Yes, These and similar errors are almost always caused by .htaccess. The .htaccess file is used by Textpattern to mange “clean” URLs – example.com/articles/123/hello-world instead of example.com/index.php?id=123. . A 500 Internal Server Error or 403 Forbidden response is usually the result of a .htaccess file that tries to exceed these restrictions .

    What can u do ?

    The simplest thing you can do to fix the problem is simply delete or rename .htaccess,

    OR Try to comment lines in .htaccess file. Some of them must cause this error.

    Also, With 500 internal server errors, you should check your web server logs to see what the problem is, though with this situation the above suggestion would do the trick too.

    I would recommend, especially for the .htaccess file, to edit it using the cPanel's File Manager.

    As I said, on MOST modern shared hosts, you just upload your own php.ini to your web root. It will override the defaults. That is what to do if you cannot use the options in .htaccess. This applies to hostgator, godaddy, aplus.net, and many more. Using php.ini settings in .htaccess brings up 500, not 403, when the host does not allow them in there. This is only 10 years experience talking from a guy with numerous dedicated linux servers and an associates degree in Web Development.
