This may not be the right place to ask but google has kicked my a$$  
trying to find a solution.

I've installed PHP-4.4.0, I have "register_globals = Off" and  
"register_argc_argv = Off", a script I'm trying to run is using  
"$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']" and it only works with register  
globals on.

How do I get this to work without turning globals on?

I've looked in the PHP manual but it doesn't give me anything I  
understand so if you can stop laughing and tell me what to change  
this too I'd be a happy camper and be on my merry way.

Post your question to php-general@lists.php.net this mailing list is for 
the development of PHP itself.
