Because he asked for superglobals, not globals. $GLOBALS (not $_GLOBALS)

meh, force of habit

happens to be an example of a superglobal.

and variable can be set within its scope, so why not use it? As we see in the manual at $GLOBALS _is_ a super global and available to all scopes within the script. http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.globals it refers to $GLOBALS as " This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. " gotta love the php manual

Exactly Kevin. What the OP wanted was to create another superglobal, just like $GLOBALS. The contents of $GLOBALS refer to the global variables, which are *not* all superglobals. The only superglobals by default in PHP (apart from $GLOBALS) are $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, and so on. He asked a question, and I provided the answer. Why he wants to do it is another question, but telling him to "use $GLOBALS" isn't answering his question, it's answering a different question, namely how to access the global variables. Jasper
