The register_globals setting controls how you access form,

Answer / vikash shrivastva

register_globals=On: helps to access all form attribute

But When register_globals=Off we have to access all
attributes only by Global Arrays

What is register_globals in php?..

Answer / imteyazhaider

When on, register_globals will inject your scripts with all
sorts of variables, like request variables from HTML forms.
This coupled with the fact that PHP doesn't require
variable initialization means writing insecure code is that
much easier. It was a difficult decision, but the PHP
community decided to disable this directive by default.
When on, people use variables yet really don't know for
sure where they come from and can only assume. Internal
variables that are defined in the script itself get mixed
up with request data sent by users and disabling
register_globals changes this.

Answer / sk wazid hussain

when register_globals is set to ON in php.ini?? When it is
set to ON it registers Environment, GET, POST, COOKIE or
Server variables as global variables i.e. you don’t need to
write $_POST['username'] to access the posted ‘username’
variable you can simply use ‘$username’ to access the
$_POST['username'].
