Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Check your php.ini and make sure you register the old-style 
vars, this was a change made for PHP 5.
 
register_long_arrays = On

ok, but reference is the same for php 4 and php 5, without any notice about "register_long_arrays = On".

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

It depends on the webserver whether it is set or not, not really much something that PHP can do about.

To: scottmacvicar at ntlworld dot com, don't update the bugreports with quickfixes if you don't know what you're talking about.
