It's the only global there is. It's a global in any function that needs it. If I can't remember that from day to day, then I need to find a nurse to take care of me... [shrug]well, if you have a long and complex function declaration which begins with global $whatever, and then all over the function $whatever is used, some dozens of lines later when looking for something in the code you might not have any idea that $whatever is global... however if you used $GLOBALS['whatever'] everywhere it would be trivial.Indeed.
