I suggest that you set it to off and learn to use superglobals ($_GET,
$_POST, $_SERVER...) from the very beginning. There's no point in learning
bad programming practices. While register globals is not a great benefit,
it adds security issues and makes your code harder to understand.

You have a full list here:

That's it. The $HTTP_POST_VARS array is deprecated and actually doesn't
work with PHP 5's default settings.
