I know this is a stupid question but I just installed Apache and php and mysql on my window pc so I could use it as a test server I have done this before and it worked fine but for some reason I can get register_globals to turn on I know it is a security risk but I need it to be on in order for the softwear that the company I work for uses to install. Any suggestions I already turned it on in the php.ini file. I don't know what else to do.
