I am installing Zen Cart and it had alerted me that "Register Globals is ON" and it would be more secure to turn it off.

As I am a typical end user, I have NO IDEA where to change it, how to change, etc.

Can some one help me with a "detailed recepe"?

Thanks in advance

Add the following to your .htaccess file

php_flag register_globals off

Bruce-
Do i need a special UNIX viewer for the .htaccess file? Do I just add it to the end? Which .htaccess file should I append to, the one in my directory under 'public-html' ?

Thanks , as I am trying to turn off mine too.
