RE: [PHP] PHP globals aren't really globals

I never used 50 of them, but I think there's such a thing as 'register globals' wchich makes all if the globals become available inside your funcs...... no idea how to use it ... I feel like I've seen it in someone else's code ... correct me if I am wrong ...

But one thin I can't get, how can PHP call a variabel global, if it isn't global. A global var, is a var defined outside all functions and it's available to all and altered by all, without having to redefine or call the var again. In PHP, for a var to be global you have to add a 'global $var' inside the function u want to use it. THis is not nice, what about if u have a form with 50 fields and want a function to validate all of them, u have to pass them all to the function or build a little piece of code to make all th $GLOBALS local right? Is this really the idea of global vars? . [ Christian Dechery ] . Webdeveloper @ Tá Na Mesa! .
