Drupal 5.7 thinks register_globals is on, but it isn't.

I think that this is causing problems on my installation. I had my host turn off register_globals, and as you can see at http://703designs.com/info.php , they are in fact off. However, Drupal still throws this error at the admin's Status Report page:
PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings.
Why would this be, and how do I fix it? I've posted the other problem in a separate topic.

Do you have access to the .htaccess file in the root of your Drupal install?
If you do, and you know that the webserver (Apache assumed here), add the following

# If using php4 as module, add this line
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_globals Off
</IfModule>
# If using php 5 as module, add this line
# If using php5 as module
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_flag register_globals Off
</IfModule>
That should enlighten your Drupal install. :)
Best wishes.
