Problem with uploading pictures with register_globals off

I had a problem with one of the sites is develop.

Recently the provider upgraded their servers to PHP5 and MySql 5.
In the process the set the function register_globals off

The upload function for pictures stoppen functioning and there were no error reports..since they had disabled this as well.

Luckily they provided a solution for the osCommerce user which I tried for this mambo installation.

The solution

In the .htaccess file I inserted the next line with a trailing empty line

php_flag register_globals on

And uploaded it via FTP, and yes, it works great again !!
I took me several hours to find the solution, but if you encounter the same problem, try this one....
