IME, no need to edit .htaccess. Do you have a file which at the top of every file? Like config.php, which will included by the other files? If yes, use this line on the top of that file: import_request_variables("gpc", ""); If you don;t have that file, place that file which you need register globals on, on there. This function will convert $_GET['var'], $_POST['var'], $_COOKIE['var'] into $var, and other varibles to that schema. From PHP manual: Note that the order of the letters matters, as when using "gp", the POST variables will overwrite GET variables with the same name. Any other letters than GPC are discarded Hope this help. But, what Krishna wrote is very helpfull for the future projects :). Register globals on (or modification with that function) is have security risk.
