Hi Joey:
This is a fix that you can include in every script that needs it. See
also comments below.
if($GLOBAL_VARS_FIX) {
if (phpversion() >= "4.2.0") {
extract($_POST);
extract($_GET);
extract($_SERVER);
extract($_ENV);
extract($_COOKIE);
}
}

if register_globals = on
you can use print( $variable );
if register_globals = off
you MUST use print( $_POST['variable'] );

changing extension only matters to how apache processes the file. If you
add the extension .phps to the apache.conf then .php and .phps will
behave exactly the same.
