Re: Globals

Maybe it has to do with the fact that the $GLOBALS[] array has a copy of itself inside the parent. kinda weird but it looks like this $GLOBALS['key1'] = 'value1'; $GLOBALS['key2'] = 'value2'; $GLOBALS['GLOBALS']['key1'] = 'value1'; $GLOBALS['GLOBALS']['key2'] = 'value2'; don't ask me why, but it seems odd to me to do this. A little redundant if you ask me.
