```php
 <?php
/**
* Support for register_globals Off code
**/

$raw = phpversion();
list($v_Upper,$v_Major,$v_Minor) = explode(".",$raw);

if (($v_Upper == 4 && $v_Major < 1) || $v_Upper < 4) {
	$_FILES = $HTTP_POST_FILES;
	$_ENV = $HTTP_ENV_VARS;
	$_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
	$_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
	$_COOKIE = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
	$_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
	$_SESSION = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
	$_FILES = $HTTP_POST_FILES;
}

?>

```

save as “globalsfix.php” (or whatever name you want) and then INCLUDE in your other scripts.  
code once, use many 🙂

```php
if (($v_Upper == 4 && $v_Major < 1) || $v_Upper < 4)

```

I could be totally off here, but shouldn’t you be setting the $v\_Major to \< 2.  
I thought register\_globals was turned off in 4.2.  
…maybe I just need another cup of coffee.
