Re: Global Arrays ?

The first thing that comes to mind - if you say it's working with local variables - is trying to set it local prior to using it (i.e. insert a "$loc_months=$g_months" just below "global $g_months" and use the local variable from then on). It may be a bug in your PHP - walking an array with each probably sets some internal position marker which may be buggy for your very situation (global variable in local function - something like that).
