hi guys,
I did php/mysql based website for one my client 7 years ago, in time when register_globals was on by default.
hosting company upgraded server to php5/mysql5 and turned globals off. the site is doesn't work any more.
I can define globals on again in .htaccess but rather not because it could be a big risk.
to work again I have to spend a lot of hours to modify the code. boring job. but, I'm more concern does client has to pay the changes/upgrade or it's still "my obligation"?
anybody had similar experience?
thanks for any help.

Looks like a case of: "It's not if, but when". Someday, some will have to do it.
Compare the situation with some other product. The customer should not expect
the designer to provide free maintenance forever. Have they paid you a yearly
maintenance fee?
Also, things have changed regarding register_globals. They became a major
security risk because hackers learned how to exploit them, since you designed
the code.
