Many thanks by your lesson of Aphril masters @dharman and @rtrtrtrtrt I am wrong about this, I am sorry and thanks by your time. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-04-08 16:02:47] rtrtrtrtrt at dfdfdfdf dot dfd why should $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar in __constrcut(9 be global without "global $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar" ir $GLOBALS['ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar']; this are two different vars in different scopes and you really should learn basics: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-04-08 15:48:16] rg at mejoramos dot com Thanks master @dharman when we declare $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar = 777; this is GLOBAL. When we declare function __construct(){ // --> this is GLOBAL ? $GLOBALS['a'] = 888; // --> this is GLOBAL ? $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar = 777; // --> this is GLOBAL ? OtherFunction(); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-04-08 15:12:50] dharman@php.net This looks correct to me. $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar is empty in global scope. I think your confusion comes from the fact that you have another variable with the same name in a local scope within the constructor. Local scope and global scope are not the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-04-08 15:00:19] rg at mejoramos dot com Description: ------------ no't possible pass $VAR to GLOBAL context without used ARRAY $GLOBALS, please see the code. Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1); function OtherFunction(){ GLOBAL $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar; print_r($GLOBALS['a']); print_r($ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar); } class OtherClass{ function __construct(){ $GLOBALS['a'] = 888; $ManyFunctionsNeedThisVar = 777; OtherFunction(); } } $OtherObject = new OtherClass(); Expected result: ---------------- String concatenated, correct output: 888777 Actual result: -------------- 888 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80941&edit=1
