We’ve got a client application that relies on register_globals turned on to work, but we’re hosting it on a our shared server, and don’t want to turn register_globals on in our main php.ini file.

I tried inserting ini_set ( 'register_globals' , 'On' ); but it didn’t work. Why didn’t it? And is there a better way?

    You could always try to put:

     extract($_REQUEST,EXTR_SKIP); //thanks @Wayne Whitty

    on top of every files. It would yeld the same results as far as I know.
    But really, REALLY, its bad bad bad to use these. I’d look for a way to change the code. But sometimes you have no choice.
