This is a patch for one of the tasks on Brion's todo list he sent some days ago. Currently, MediaWiki requires the setting of
register_globals = On
in php.ini, which causes some trouble for people trying to install MediaWiki and which might cause some security problems. The attached patch enables MediaWiki to run with register_globals=Off.
There's a test server running this code at
