Re: Global variable unset in function

As was reported in the bug, use unset($GLOBALS["var"]). Here's why: function f() { global $t; // bind local $t to global $t unset($t); // break global binding $t = "anything"; // $t is on a local var, and will go out of scope at // function end } $t = "something"; f(); print $t; // We never changed the globally scoped copy of $t // so we get "something" --Joey Smith Please forgive the long sig: *** Notice To Bulk Emailers: Attention!
