Hi all.
I have recently moved my site to a dedicated server which we have total control.
The old hosting company were running PHP 4.1.x. The PHP.INI file was set with register_globals = NO.
In PHP 5.x register_globals is by default set OFF.
This has stop some but not all of my scrots from working.
I thnk my questionis, am I safe to turn ON register_globals.

Maybe, only an inspection of your code can prove that.
If possible, I suggest that you take the time to get rid of the reliance on register_globals.
Hi LaserLight,
Many thanks for your reply.
With "register_globals" set to OFF, does this mean that if I use "print_r $_SESSION(); the script will on show any output.
Because thats whats happening.

I think you have a typographical error since "the script will on show any output" does not make sense. If you have session variables registered, print_r($SESSION) will show them.
register_globals does not affect $SESSION. Or $POST, $GET, $SERVER, or $_ENV. Those variables are what you should be using instead of turning register_globals on.

At least he's being consistent. If he hadn't done that I'd never have understood the issue when he said

So, what's the difference?

register_globals is gone in PHP 6; after being deprecated a few years ago, the intervening time was provided as an opportunity for developers to migrate away from its use before its removal broke their programs.
