I recall the IMP 2.2 docs said register_globals needs to be turned on.

The PHP site however, recommends turning register_globals off, since
track_vars is always on with recent PHP4 versions, and therefore it is
better to get values from $HTTP_*_VARS, where they cannot be tampered
with by user input.

Question:  Do register_globals still need to be on for IMP 2.3?
