Dude, it's a setting that you can turn on. If you have thousands of lines of
code and you upgrade to a version of php that by default sets
register_globals off, then you fucking edit the one line in php.ini to use
register globals and all your files work perfectly. Nobody has to suffer and
ruin a perfectly good project because of this. It's an configurable feature
that increases security of the application (in cases leading to false sense
of security) but the bottom line is that you don't have to use it if you are
the administrator of the server. There's no need to whine and complain about
it, just open php.ini, edit register_globals=on, save the file, reboot the
server and shut up.
