Its better to leave it off globally and just turn it on with .htaccess files. However, its your choice.

To do it globaly, just find your php.ini file and look through it. Its in /etc/php.ini on unix and I think its in your windows dir by default on windows.. if not, check your php install dir or just search for php.ini.

The best option is to use a .htaccess file in the folder you are running that script from. Create a new file (if its not there already) named .htaccess and put the following in it.

php_flag register_globals on

Enjoy!

Any expert to be taken seriously will first warn you to leave register_globals to the default OFF setting.

If you choose to disregard the warning, all you need to do is edit the php.ini file. The location can be gathered from the phpinfo() output.

I strongly recommend that you leave register_globals set to "off".

And so does the PHP online manual:

If you're even thinking about turning register_globals on, read the above link.
