note 23240 deleted from install.windows by dams

Sigh. I guess it pays to read the release notes that come with php... ;-) Take a look at this: http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php The key change with the 4.2.0 release and up is that variables are no longer allowed in global space unless you set the register_globals directive yourself via php.ini or the .htaccess file. And here all this time I thought it was a windoze issue. In reality it was because I had installed the 4.2.x branch of php, and didn't realize the major change. This (fyi) was also my first time running php under windoze, so I guess I assumed incorrectly. Live and learn. ;-) I hope this information helps anyone who had similar questions.
