need to turn on register_globals in php.ini

I have just installed oscommerce on my test bed to manipulate and it looks as if i need to turn on register_globals in my php.ini file. I understand in my limited way that this means you have to use get and post to retrieve data from a previous form. oscommerce is asking for this to be turned on. I have 2 questions. I can't find the section to do this. (maybe it is just my stupid eyes today) and if I do, will my gets and posts still work on other sites i am working on?

These are probably really simple stupid questions but today the answers elude me.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks
i realise the problems i think, but i need to test on my site rather than keep uploading to another site. do you know where i turn on the register_globals in the php.ini as I can't find it.

open the ini file in notepad, click edit > find > type in "register_globals" > hit enter and WALA! :D
