could this not also be solved by switching register_globals as on? reading through the error, it looks like that's what it's complaining about. there is security risks to turning this on, which is probably why it doesn't suggest doing it, but depends how secure you need your site to be? and also how much you want to check the security and patch it up if necessary?
