Hello all wondering if I can get some help with the following. I was sent a message recently from host company which states
This is just a courtesy reminder email regarding the upcoming scheduled change which will involve the disabling of register_globals on both PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.2.
By September 1st, you will need to verify your website is capable of operating WITHOUT register_globals turned on.
How can I find out whether a) I have it turned on to begin with and b) if my website can operate without it?
Cheers

For Drupal 7 at least, head
For Drupal 7 at least, head to admin/reports/status and check register globals there. Drupal doesn't require register globals to be enabled so you're in no trouble! My status report shows them disabled, I'm fairly sure there was a security risk associated with having them enabled on a server but with no link to hand can't be certain.
tl;dr don't worry :)
