If you have a look in main/main.c, there's an array called "short_track_vars_names" at the very beginning, which is later on looped and tits contents passed to zend_register_auto_global(), which in turn adds the name to a hash structure for autoglobal identifier lookup. These names are hardcoded and cannot be changed (except when you modify the distribution source code and recompile). -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
