I'm quite new to PHP and I have some questions on the register_globals setting. I have installed PHP version 4.3.6 on a Windows XP machine that has no network/Internet connection.

I wrote a little file that uses the phpinfo() function to show me my settings. register_globals is set to off. I pulled up my php.ini file and changed register_globals from "Off" to "On" but my settings list still says register_globals is "Off" for both Local Value and Master Value. How do you change the register_globals setting?

I've heard that it's best to have register_globals set to "Off" for security reasons. If that's the case, how do you change your programs so that they'll still function?

Read the following links for more information on register_globals:

If the ini change isn't taking effect it probably means you need to restart the HTTP server.

Restarting the Apache server took care of it. Thanks!

I've been reading those links you posted. A little intimidating for a newbie like me but I'll keep at it.
