ID: 29009 Updated by: magnus@php.net Reported By: zidokid at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: URL related Operating System: Windows XP Professional PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment: In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.
