RE: FN-FORUM php question

If it is off you can turn it on by changing the php.ini file or via an
.htaccess file.
You can in theory also turn it on via the script itself but by the time
the script actions that request it is too late!.
However.
Ensure that it is turned off and keep it off. If you are learning PHP
get used to it being off, it is safer and better that way and it is
possible that future versions will not allow it to be turned on at all.
If however you are installing existing software then you may have to
turn it on.
BTW: If learning PHP then any book written for a version of PHP 4.2.0 or
below will not be entirely correct for current versions, a common
example is that they often tell you to use commands like
session_register whereas with register_globals being off you should
never use that particular command (according to the latest version of
the manual). So treat sections regarding autoglobals like POST, GET,
SESSION and COOKIE variables with care.

Almost certainly yes although FYI create a one liner page, put the
following in it
You'll get lots of useful environment info, and find out if register
globals is actually turned on or not.
