You can't turn it "on" really, because by the time your PHP script is running and trying to turn it "on", it's too late for the built-in routines to globalize everything -- They have already opted not to run because it was "off" (as it should be). You could use extract($_REQUEST); which amounts the same thing, however, cramming all the $_REQUEST variables into your PHP script. THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!! There is a *REASON* why register_globals got turned OFF! You should do this ONLY for legacy code that cannot be fixed, and with a clear path to STOP doing it ASAP. You also could turn it on in .htaccess for a single directory tree, which would be more common. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
