The register_globals value is something that cannot be set at runtime.
If you pass it to ini_set(), it will appear to work -- you won't get
an error and successive calls to phpinfo() will show the new value;
however, by the time PHP gets far enough down the chain to execute
your ini_set() command, PHP has already determined whether it should
register global variables. The manual indicates that this wasn't
always the case, but (not knowing the internals then or now) I don't
understand how. (The table on that page says it was PHP_INI_ALL for
versions up to 4.2.3.)
