It was confusing to me to wonder why from one day to the next the same 
scripts stopped working, until I checked the PHP version.

Questions coming from those sources are partly understandable. 

What I was referring to was the particular case of "I've got an application 
that was working perfectly using php X.XX, then I upgraded to php Y.YY and 
now it doesn't work anymore".

It is those people who should look before they leap and read before they 
upgrade.

And there will be a lot more as people scan the web for example scripts 
and find ones that assume 'register_globals' is set to on.

This is no problem. Since PHP 4.2 register_globals is disabled by default (in
prior versions it was enabled).
Either you can use the $_POST, $_GET etc. arrays or simply set
register_globals in the php.ini to "On" !
