In most languages, heck , all I can think of, the variable's scope is simply dependant on WHERE it was declared, not how it was declared. If in C/C++ you define a variable outside the scope of any function, then it becomes global and can be accessed by any function. I'm not arguing one side or the other, just stating :) I personally find the PHP way a bit annoiying, but its workable, and i'm SURE there was a reason for it. Just not sure what that reason was :) - John Vanderbeck - Admin, GameDesign > > Chris >
