Can register_globals be set just for that directory or virtual host in
.htaccess or something like that.

I am no expert so sorry if this is rubbish, just a thought.

folks,

I am sure this Q has been asked before, but the mailing list
search engine doesn't seem to work for me:(

I am new to SquirrelMail.  Everything is up and running fine.
I am running PHP 4.2.3 on Apache 1.3.27 on a UNIX machine.
The only problem I have is that I am seeing this warning:

Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session
side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised
that the session extension does not consider global variables
as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You
can disable this functionality and this warning by setting
session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off,
respectively. in Unknown on line 0

When I looked into the whole register_globals issue

; Whether or not to register the EGPCS variables as global
; variables.  You may want to turn this off if you don't want to
; clutter your scripts' global scope with user data.  This makes
; most sense when coupled with track_vars - in which case you
; can access all of the GPC variables through the
; $HTTP_*_VARS[], variables.  You should do your best to write
; your scripts so that they do not require register_globals to
; be on;  Using form variables as globals can easily lead to
; possible security problems, if the code is not very well
; thought of.
register_globals = Off

Being new to PHP, I would prefer NOT to turn this on.  What
should I do?

Sam
