Function that removes all the globals added by register_globals

To expand on the nice bit of code Mike Willbanks wrote and Alexander tidied up, I turned the whole thing in a function that removes all the globals added by register_globals so it can be implemented in an included functions.php and doesn't litter the main pages too much.

<?php
//Undo register_globals
function unregister_globals() {
    if (ini_get(register_globals)) {
        $array = array('_REQUEST', '_SESSION', '_SERVER', '_ENV', '_FILES');
        foreach ($array as $value) {
            foreach ($GLOBALS[$value] as $key => $var) {
                if ($var === $GLOBALS[$key]) {
                    unset($GLOBALS[$key]);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
?>
