Bug #16981: Variable Scrope suggestion

From: Lakario@msn.com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: Variable Scrope suggestion Okay basically this isn't a bug, more of an annoyance though I thought it should be pointed out. As you all know variable scope in functions determines that $var1 outside a function is not the same a $var1 inside the function, so you must pass $var1 to the function. Basic stuff. Anyhow, there are many variables built into PHP such as $PHP_SELF that still comply to the variable scope rules, which I think is *very* annoying. I do not think it should be necessary to pass something like $PHP_SELF to your function if you need to call it within. I dunno, maybe I'm just whining, but there you have it. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16981&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16981&r=submittedtwice
