register_globals in php4 and php5

Hi All,

Up until recently we've left register_globals on, for the sake of cutting down on support issues with particularly iffy php code writing styles.

Today we're officially announcing that we are disabling register_globals across the board now on all our shared hosting servers.

The simple fix for this if it affects you is to enter the following string into as a .htaccess file

php_value "register_globals" "1"

We've turned it off on a few machines already, but we'll be doing the rest as the day goes on. So please wait and see if your site is affected before effecting the fix.
