Whoops, I missed that.

I found this though:
  Since PHP 4.2.0 the register_globals option is by default turned OFF, which
disables the creation of variables in the global scope matching the parameters
in GET queries, POST data, cookies etc.

  The correct way to get these values is through the $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE
associative arrays. They are available from PHP 4.1.0, and register_globals 
was disabled (by default - it can still be turned on) at 4.2.0.
