how do one turn globals on?

[convictor]

im having long now problems to make scripts connect to the database, even the simple forum script posted by riderz i failed to connect to the db. Lots of people explained to me, and i followed instrutions to the letter. Someone asked me if global register is on, i didnt if it was, so now i found out on my hosting its not on, so i assume thats why the scripts is not working?
So how do i turn it on using htaccess, and how to make it secure, as i understand its a secutity risk turning it on?
