Who's your host? A lot of the shared hosts now-a-days offer directory based php.ini, though some of them don't advertise it. Try grabbing a copy for your version of PHP and putting it in your root folder. Run a file with a phpinfo() in it to see if the changes take effect.

Alternatively handle it within your script;


There are also two excellent examples of handling the entire group of superglobals posted in the first two comments at the bottom of http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...quotes-gpc.php of which I won't repost here so the original authors get credit where credit is due. :)
