how switch register globals off
<p>my web hosting has the register globals on and I need to turn it off, when using a .htaccess with the following code in the root directory</p>

<pre><code>php_flag register_globals off
</code></pre>

<p>I get the following error</p>

<pre><code>Internal Server Error, this is an error with your script, check your error log for more  information.
</code></pre>

<p>any ideas please.</p>
