I know, Tedd, that on the php1.net site that you mentioned to me off-list, I'm about 99% positive that it's the reason. Shared hosts generally keep register_globals on and leave it up to the individual customer to turn it off. On that particular server, though, since it's mostly developers, I may just send out an email to get feedback and turn it off at the main, and then allow ya'all to override it on your individual sites. The thing that makes me wonder (and I haven't checked myself to verify) is why two sites, on the same server, having the same phpinfo() output, would have different results. -- /Daniel P.
