I am aware of that. I think you misunderstood me. My point was that as
long as a script does not use (uninitialized) globals, "register_globals
= On" cannot do any harm and therefore its value is irrelevant. In other
words: only badly written scripts "require" register_globals turned off
to prevent harm. Well written scripts are immune.

Greetings,
Thomas
