If you have osCommerce and are receiving an error message about registered_globals being off, it's because our servers do have registered_globals set to off in our PHP settings for security reasons.
You CANNOT bypass this by adding 'php_flag register_globals on' to your .htaccess file, you MUST install this osCommerce contribution found below. This is a patch that will remove the need to enable 'register_globals' in the php.ini file. In fact, once it is applied, register_globals MUST be disabled otherwise it will not work.
