Make it global and just loop through it. exactly, u need to loop to an array to get the globals u want. this is not the idea of global, global is global... if it's set outside of ALL functions it should be available 'with no extra code' to ALL functions, it works that way in all programming language I'm familiar with... why not in PHP? that's what I wanna know, why globals in PHP doesn't really work like globals? .
