Just moved my site from localhost to a live server and have a few "errors" i need to sort through. This is my first ever experience getting into php/mysql/drupal and am a bit confused. One of the warnings it PHP REGISTER GLOBALS. It says

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.

How do i go about disabling this. I loooked at the PHP manual but it really got my head spinning.

I'd like to help you out, but I'll need some more information.

Do you have shell access to the server? If not, which control panel are you running?

Do you know how to edit php.ini for your server?

Check:

It says to add the following to your .htaccess file:

'php_value register_globals 0'

Does that sort out the issue for you?
