php_flag register_globals & upload permissions

    I’m running WP and osCommerce side by side. The osC is a heavily modded, older version and needs register_globals to be on. I made that setting in the php.ini file in the osC root, and all was good.

    The host decided he wanted to do the register_globals setting in the .htaccess files with php_flag register_globals. Apparently he made the change so that it applied to both WP and osC.

    After the change, we could no longer upload images. There was a permissions issue. And we had to up permissions on the upload folder to 777.

    I’m concerned that having register_globals on in WP could affect other things, specifically other permissions related issues.

    Anyone have any experience or knowledge in this area?

    I have had 10+ WordPress sites on a host with register_globals on and have not run into any issues.
