Its simply a Boolean to indicate whether or not a query should be ran and displayed, and further more its for a small intranet. Register_globals is the directive I meant to say. But your right about globals. Some applications haven't made that change yet... So unless I want to rewrite them (which is time consuming if you didn't originally write the thing) I need to enable it.

stick this in a auto_prepend_file (or at the top of a global include: <? extract($_REQUEST); ?> crude, but not exactly a rewrite.

I have the directive in my php.ini, which is defaulted to the %systemdir% in windows... But it certainly isn't registering them... I can easily write an include and stick in to mimic the behaviour.. but was wondering if anyone else ran into these issues.

probably the php.ini you are editing is not the same as the file php is using to determine its config.

I have register globals enabled, or set to "On". Isn't this suppose to take all of the $_POST variables and $_GET variables and make initialize them by name?

register_globals should do that. but not "register globals", regardless is a shitty setting. don't use it. besides its depreciated just use $_POST['whatever']

i.e. $_POST['runquery'] will be accessible via simply $runquery

looks like you are stuffing SQL into a GET/POST param - sure you want to do that?
