Preventing namespace pollution...now you convince me. I used the term "lazy programming" without explaining what I meant, hence the misunderstanding. I refer to "lazy programming" in the sense of not properly and thoroughly checking user input, or as I believe, any input from external to you code sources. If you don't do that I don't believe that anything will save you. Promoting superglobals as a security enhanchment, no I don't buy that.Yes, two different interpretations of laziness. The coder must still be vigillant regarding user input, and check everything. But superglobals, imho do tend to reduce the sloppiness of the final code.
