Remedy for 'register_globals' error

[Jan5]

I've been getting the error message that so many people are having problems with regarding register_globals being turned off. I tried installing the register_globals mod and adding a .hta access file, but neither worked. I wrote my host and this is what they told me to do:

Create a text document entitled php.ini in the catalog folder and place the line register_globals = On within the document. Change the permissions to 755.

I did it and it worked like a charm!
