ini_set() just doesn't make sense for that directive. register_globals
takes the input data from HTTP requests and sets them in the symbol
table before any of your PHP code gets parsed. PHP has already done the
work. Doesn't seem too terribly efficient to just throw all of that
away on every script invocation, now does it?

But what you *can* do, is to ini_get('register_globals') and have your
script act accordingly. You could for example extract() your $_GET and
$_POST variables.
