An additional comment - I was reading more about register_globals just now,
and I don't think anything in my script relies on that, at least not as I
understand it. The page this error came up on does have a session_start() at
the beginning but doesn't actually call any session variables. It does
extract the visitor's username from a previously set cookie to see if
they're logged in, but it references that as $_COOKIE['username'] which as
far as I understand is legitimate. It doesn't use any uninitialized
variables.

Any ideas?
