does "php_flag register_globals off" work on all subdirectories?

or is there a setting for this?

My local apache seems to use this directive (if that's what you call it) on all sub directores.

My shared host server seems not to. I can't really tell, but funny things are happening. My local vars are overwriting my $_SESSION (php) vars of the same name, which shouldn't be happening if register_globals is turned off, right?

If you can have your custom php.ini, you can turn register_globals off
