** The biggest change in PHP 4.2.0 concerns variable handling.

I don't see where it says you can't have the old behavior.
This has been configurable since I remember (which is 4.0b3).
Just change the value of register_globals in php.ini to "On",
and your code works as before.
BTW, I admire anyone who codes anything larger than quick hacks with
register_globals On. It's such a mess I can't tell my ass from a
hole in the ground after 15 minutes of looking at such code.
YMMV, I guess.
