Generally speaking, setting register globals to
off and setting safe mode
on will make the system *more* secure (Edit - register globals
on will make it easier to write insecure code). Register globals modifies how PHP handles variables. "On" means PHP will insert variables (such as form variables, etc...) into the PHP scripts. "Off" means PHP will NOT insert those variables. Safe mode is intended for shared servers and operates by performing user ID/group ID checks, allowing you to define directories that scripts are allowed to "execute" from, etc...
