Configure php.ini and httpd.conf

Hi, A confusing question for me, really! =) Is it possible to have register_globals off in php.ini and turn it on according to specific DIRECTORY in httpd.conf? I am using Apache and /html is the root directory. Right now register_globals is off, and I would like to have register_globals turned on under /html/project1 and all its sub-directories. How do I do it? I tried to turn register_globals on in httpd.conf: -------1-------- <Directory ....> ... php_flag register_globals on </Directory> -------2-------- <Directory ....> ... </Directory> php_flag register_globals on -------3-------- ....<<at the end of httpd.conf>> php_flag register_globals on Only 3rd one works, and it shows in phpinfo that local value is On but master value is Off. What does this mean? And I tried a simple form, after local value is turned On, but I still cannot access posted fields globally, why?? Thanks. - Bernie
