But that is a bit of a twist of what "register_globals" is supposed to
mean. As far as I am concerned register_globals only affects how data is
imported into PHP. Having that flag trigger other behaviours is
completely undocumented and outside the scope of the original intent of
register_globals. You are effectively overloading register_globals.
