<answer>
+ <para>
+ If you are on a shared host with <literal>register_globals</literal> turned
+ off and need to use some legacy applications, which require this option
+ to be turned on, or you are on some hosting server, where this feature
+ is turned on, but you would like to eliminate security risks, you might
+ need to emulate the opposite setting with PHP. It is always a good idea to
+ first ask if it would be possible to change the option somehow in PHP's
+ configuration, but if it is not possible, then you can use these
+ compatibility snippets.
