Then you should be having this conversation with the 3rd party.  They need
to validate *EVERY* bit of data that comes into the script from outside.
This includes items passed on the URL, POSTed items, uploaded files, etc.
You CANNOT TRUST that your URL has not been tampered with, regardless of the
scripting language you use (ASP, PHP, JSP, etc)  If they do not validate the
inputted data, they have problems like you have seen.

Relying on register_globals is taboo.  Any competent PHP programmer knows
that, and likely has known it for a long time.

Sounds like you need a good consultant.  My rates are reasonable.  ;-)
