You're right, register_globals cannot be set with ini_set(). My provider 
says that most scripts used by other clients need register_globals thus he 
has to leave it on! That sounds stupid but I cannot do anything except 
moving my site to a different host, something I really want to avoid right 
now.

There is an option to use my own php.ini through an fcgi wrapper script, I 
have to investigate this workaround.

Thanks Jason,
Athan
