I host a php website written by someone who has a basic understanding of PHP but is obviously not an expert.

The website http://browningorchids.co.nz/ requires me to have [ register_globals = On ] which I understand is a bad move these days.

Question: how do I ask him to amend the code so that I can turn it OFF without breaking his site? Is there a simple solution? Is it hard to find the offending code that needs rewriting?

Or shall I turn it OFF and pretend I know nothing

For a quick fix, you can put variables in the global scope using extract(): http://be.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php
