It's also bad practice to make a phpinfo() page accessible to the world,
especially when it shows you're running an ancient version of PHP and
have iffy options like register_globals turned on ...

Oops. That's *really* old.

I cant even remember what they are...Oh. automatic assigned of GET
variables. Well yes, its a bit - er - global.

But provided you initialise all the variables you are using internally,
then you cant use it to override internal variables.

I still use something deprecated - short tags and magic quotes I
