I _BET_ it's register_globals.
Did you restart the webserver in case PHP is loaded as a module?

Anyway: it's a lot safer having register_globals set to "off" (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php#security.registerg
lobals for a discussion on security issues).

For example, assuming that a certain cookie value is available, with
register_globals on this value may be forged by passing the value as part
of the url. A lot of different possibilities arise.
