Error: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it

i've just tried to install osCommerce, but get the following error message:

FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

is this something i can do, or is it part of the PHP that i have no access to and no control over?

thanks..

damn, you're fast!

i just came back here to edit my post to say i had sussed it! there is a .htaccess file provided with osCommerce, all i had to do was comment out the final lines thusly:

#<IfModule mod_php4.c>
#php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
php_value register_globals 1
#</IfModule>

thanks for the quick response!
