register globals on

Hello again,

Can I ask a general question? One of the website that we have built was
constructed using register globals. Thanks to that we set the language for
browsing the website by determining user's browser language and then also
(I think) it is used to remember some other choices users make while on
the website (especially the language for browsing).

Anyway, our ISP asks us to stop using register globals. They are right. We
should. However, the programmer we have been using to help us, insists
that without register globals on, we will have to revert to using cookies.
This - he claims - is not an option because if a user blocks cookies, site
as such will become useless (many options on the website are a consequence
of setting the language first).

I thought I would ask your opinion before we make any decision. Is it
really so that without register globals, such things as displaying
information from databases based on the initial choice of languages is not
an option? I am not a programmer so I just need general guidance.

Thank you very much in advance!
