I have installed php v5 on a windowsXP PC. Server is Apache 2.2.
Even though I have turned register globals on in the ini file,
the php is still not allowing the use of $HTTP_GET_VARS (and probably
other similier variables), and I am having to change my existing script
to $_GET before they will run.
Any idea why the directive is being ignored?

On? Register globals is widely considered to be a security hazard. Ideally you should be using the $_GET etc variables instead. Anyhoo the $HTTP_*_VARS are (IIRC) controlled by the track_vars directive. So turn that on, restart Apache, and then try.
