That is because with v.4.0.6 register_globals is set to On in php.ini by
default. The default now is Off for security reasons (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php
for more info).
IMO you are making a bad move going back to v4.06, you should get used to
writing your scripts with globals off i.e. using $_POST/$_GET etc etc - if
you have to have globals on then you should re-install 4.3.1 and switch
globals on in your php.ini file or do an extract() to emulate globals being
on....
