Sure it seems useful, but I see it more as a hack if you are just writing to superglobals anyway, if you need to change something you should do that with your own logic instead. If its something simple such as your code assumes $_GET['id'] always is available, then either write it to a temp variable. I know many applications nowadays are not written with an excess amount of globals everywhere, but writing to a global without explicitly declaring you want to, can cause some hard to debug cases if one function modifies a global and another assumes an unmodified value. I'd like to see that gone. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
