register_globals' effect

[Anon]

I'm upgrading our server to 4.1 tonight and want to turn register_globals OFF in the .ini, but don't want to break a ton of stuff.

In most of our scripts, we access posted variables as ${'var'} instead of $var... will turning register_globals off change this? Is using ${'var'} style variable names accessing anything different than straight $var type names?

Thanks.

"In most of our scripts, we access posted variables as ${'var'} instead of $var..."

why? that makes very little sense because ${'var'} point to exactly the same var as $var.

I think it would help if you read the manual to see what register_globals does.
