And that's just on my main server.

Much as I would like to turn register_globals off, I *really* don't
fancy working my way through nearly 1000 scripts fixing all the problems
that would create.

When I was young and naive, I thought having form variables passed in
as globals was just about the neatest thing I could imagine.

Now I'm older and wiser, and it's too late.

The only fix I can envisage to this is to set up two web servers on the
server, one with register_globals off and another with it on. And gradually
migrate sites from one to the other.

Any other ideas?
