Global variables should + only be initizlized and destructed on the per-request startup/shutdown + functions. The reason behind this is that PHP, in its module mode, + is practically nothing but a complex function, that is called, and + recalled for every hit. Global variable initilaztion only happens once, + when the program (in our case, httpd) starts up, when we really want it + to happen for every request. This is especially important for pointers + that point to emalloc()'d memory - remember that at the end of every + request, all emalloc()'d memory is freed, so your pointer would be + pointing at garbage, unless you explicitly reinitialize it on every + hit. + Naming Conventions ------------------ -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
