I changed this value in order to get some old scripts running without rewriting them. It didn't change anything. phpinfo() still says it's turned off. I changed other switches and that worked. Only register_globals does not seem to work.

Just to eliminiate the obvious: you have made sure that the PHP.INI file you applied the change to is the same reported by your phpinfo() ?
 [2002-05-07 09:51 UTC] nixon68 at online dot de 
;-)

Yes: /usr/local/lib/php.ini

I encountered the same thing and worked around it by adding 

php_flag register_globals on

in the apache httpd.conf file

Sorry, if this is a stupid question. But where exactly did you add it in the httpd.conf. I got a syntax error when i added it just somewhere.
 [2002-05-08 04:15 UTC] nixon68 at online dot de 
Sorry - the error I recieve when testing the httpd.conf is: "Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration"
 [2002-05-08 04:26 UTC] nixon68 at online dot de 
Okay, I finally found the correct place and now it works as supposed. THX

Can't reproduce and has worked through all versions just fine.
