I notice the INSTALL file in 4.2.2 mentions that people "should write their scripts to work with this [register_globals] turned off". Based on what I've mentioned below, what can I do to conform to this statement made by the PHP authors? From what I know about programming, I am setting globals where appropriate already.. but apparently I am incorrect, since upgrading to 4.2.2 broke all my stuff unless I turn [register_globals] on. Any suggestions?
