| Hi
Received this, I only just mananged to build the website, don't have a clue
on how to handle this, any advice gratefully received. Website already not
working, could it be this set up prematurely?
(message)
This is to let you know that as from 1 Feb 2006 the setting
"register_globals" in php will be disabled.
This setting has been disabled by default for sometime as it poses security
issues in certain php scripts.
Unfortunately if you site needs the "register_globals" enabled you will need
to recode the script.
If you are using third party scripts, you are advised to get the most recent
release, as most well known php scripts have already been recoded to work
with the new php default settings.
?
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you.
Waaaah! Help!
Chris

It means that the option register_globals in php is since that date
defaulted to off instead of on as int used to be.
In short it means this:
Values from the $_POST and $_GET array can only be accessed like this
with register_globals off:
echo $GET['value'];
and can not be accessed like this anymore:
echo $value;
