You might want to consider using the autoglobals arrays, $_GET and 
$_POST, this is due to some security concerns... because if you don't 
plan your codings properly, other parties might just be able to exploit 
your codes...

If you still want to insist on turning it on... you can do it via a file 
called php.ini, which should contain the directive register_globals = 
off, or something like that.
