Did you read about the register_globals change in 4.1.0? For severe security reasons, the 'register_gobals' parameter is by default set to off starting with version 4.1.0. This breaks many existing scripts, you are still able to turn in back on in the newer versions (in php.ini). However, PHP5 will be released without register_globals - so you'll have to correct your scripts anyway. You'll find lots of posts about this issue in the mailing list archives.
