You are understanding it correctly, the only thing that's missing is the population. The variables are defined (set), but not all are populated. $GLOBALS is a superglobal, you're right; globals set from userland scripts are not superglobals, but do wind up in the $GLOBALS array. Thus, all superglobals are globals, but not all globals are superglobals. -- </Daniel P. Brown> Network Infrastructure Manager http://www.php.net/
