Auction script
I bought a script for an online auction. It was never listed on the website that it was phpauction v 2.51 glp. I can't even install it because it requires Register_globals to be enabled which is an invitation to have your site hacked. Anyone have a patch for this so Register_globals don't have to be enabled or have another auction script they would recommend that is better working and secure and doesn't require Register_globals to be enabled and doesn't cost allot of money....I hate to buy things twice.

Having register_globals enabled on your site doesn't mean it will be hacked as long as the code was written with the proper security measures. Unfortunately, most code it not, so it's always best to have it off. Plus, PHP 6 won't support register_globals, so if you are just starting a website, it's best to not use it if you want it to be compatible with future PHP versions.
The only other one I've heard of is PHP Pro Bid.
