Re: globalize all variables not coming from a certain form...

I hate using global variables this way in functions, but it can be done. <?php function test() { global $HTTP_POST_VARS; if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['form'] == 'func') foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $pos => $val) global $pos; // reset of your code. } ?> there are good reasons for global variables, but use them wisely, globals are offten missused and create illegible code. most variables should be passed as arguments to the function. -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com "Siim Einfeldt aka Itpunk" <siim_e@pshg.edu.ee> wrote in message news:Pine.LNX.4.33.0105191233490.7806-100000@pshg.edu.ee... > > Hi everybody, > > Is it possible (and if it is, how) to globalize all the variables, that > come from some form, automatically? > For example: > > function do_something(){ > global $form; > if($form != "func"){ > /* globalize all the variables that come from a form > called $form .
