ask them to upgrade their php to a newer version, or change the php.ini for you. It can't hurt.

If your Webspace is able to handle ".htaccess" files, you're able to change PHP_INI Settings through this file!
To disable register_globals you have to set:
php_value register_globals 0
If you wanna set other settings, feel free, because there is no problem!
These Settings are set before running the script, e.g. the results of register_globals, when setting a parameter in the URL like 'foo.php?foo=stuff', is not present, $foo is unset.
