I have some questions about register_globals as I see many Unix servers have it on, and many Windows Servers have it off.
My "Assumption" of register_globals being off is that, as an example you could call a form field name using a register_global and get the form data from another site on the same server, Provided you know the form field names on a given site.
Is this TRUE / FALSE?
If this is true, I can understand why having it off, if it is FALSE then why is register_globals set to OFF by default?
As well, is it only by default for Windows Installs or both Unix and Windows?
Educate Me!
