My webhost upgraded to PHP 4.2.2 over the weekend. I went and read the security advisory (http://www.php.net/release_4_2_2.php) and didn't think too much of it until I walked into work on Monday and everything was in chaos. Upgrading to 4.2+ changes the default setting of register_globals in the php.ini file. How did I find this out? When none of my variables were being passed, I went to check the pre-defined variables page on PHP.net and found my answer. Why was/is this not in the security alert?
