[FX.php List] Strange error message

[Bob Patin]

I've got a client's site that checks for domain referers, and we're  
getting a strange error from one client's site:

Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side- 
effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the  
session extension does not consider global variables as a source of  
data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this  
functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or  
session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively, in Unknown on line 0.

The site works great for 99% of their clients, but sometimes we get  
odd stuff like this. In this case, a car dealer's site is using  
Cobalt, who is a boilerplate website company that provides car  
dealership sites for tons of major car dealers all over the country.  
For this reason, the dealership can't just put up a generic HTML page  
with a link on it, which I know would work.

So my question is this: should I dig into php.ini and change settings  
to keep this warning from coming up? If so, how do I do that in Mac  
OS X Server? I know how to use Terminal (barely), but wouldn't begin  
to know how to edit the php.ini page... and hesitate to get in there  
and muck around.

Thanks for any help,

Bob Patin
