Objections? Yes, I have strong objections to enable register_globals. We have to clean this code instead of allowing such things. It is a shame to have to see such mistakes in our codes. For the record, I asked on irc some developers about that, we all agreed to disable it and then fix the problems when they occur. The reasons why we disable it are known and were critical security issues. --Pierre
