Most likely you can't turn it on yourself without hacking the box it's run on. Try contacting your host.

Do some googling---I've seen lots of hacks for this. One theory has a foreach ($key as $val) type thing that sits at the top of every script.

I control my servers; I opted for placing a directive in each <VirtualHost> container in httpd.conf:

php_value register_globals 1

I *think* I have seen information to the effect that this directive would also work in an .htaccess file --- that might be your best option.

HTH,
