No Problem...
Of course it may be wise to set something up on a back-up/non-production type
machine to not rely on that variable (register globals=on) as it is a security
risk! Anyone can set variables via HTTP information that could cause some problems
with your code. With the option off you will have more control over what your
variables are set to.
Just some food for thought...
