[suPHP] migration from mod_php5 to suphp : php_flag problem

[Jeremy Chadwick]

Wouter de Jong's recommendation is the correct answer to your problem.
It has nothing to do with suPHP.

However, there is a much more serious matter here: in absolutely no
way shape or form should you be using register_globals.  If you have
*any* customers/users who rely on it, tell them to fix their code,
it's incredibly easy.  register_globals is a humongous security hole.

And, just in case you think I'm trolling/flaming, you should know that
the "feature" will be *entirely removed* as of PHP 6.
