See http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php if you don't understand the risks.

The register_globals option is deprecated so I imagine that osCommerce will no longer require it soon, if it doesn't already.

[edit]
Poking around on the osCommerce site, I did find a patch which removes the need for register_globals on older versions.

Keep in mind register_globals set to On is potentially dangerous. Does latest version of OSCommerce still need this?

You need to locate the file php.ini (on Debian it's typically at /etc/php5/apache2), edit the file and find the reference to register_globals. Set the value to On and restart your web server.

(Don't think it needs to be ON for FA though)

As you edit the file, you'll notice that setting register_globals carries a security risk.
