What are the implications of having register_globals set to off on a PHP server, and how can it impact session variables?

When register_globals is set to off on a PHP server, it means that variables cannot be automatically registered from the global scope. This can impact session variables because they rely on being able to access global variables to store and retrieve data across different pages. To solve this issue, you can manually set session variables using the $_SESSION superglobal array. 

session_start();

// Set session variables
$_SESSION['username'] = 'john_doe';
$_SESSION['email'] = 'john.doe@example.com';

// Retrieve session variables
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$email = $_SESSION['email'];

// Unset session variables
unset($_SESSION['username']);
unset($_SESSION['email']);
