Re: Re: Question about superglobals

I think the superglobal keyword is a great idea. I have a custom class that implements a custom interface to memcache with a MySQL backend for data that drops out of memcache or is to big to be stored easily in memcache. I get annoyed at needing to include a global statement in every place I want to use memcache.

Thanks everyone, I knew this, but I didn't want to use runkit because it is a beta, and i don't want all that other stuff, just superglobals. Also, runkit only allows you to use php.ini, but my patch allows you to specify superglobals in your script with the keyword "superglobal" by saying: superglobal $var1, $var2 ; Thanks for your help though, if anyone else is interested in the patch send me a message. This isn't something the developers would want to implement I assume, but it would be useful if they would, at a very small cost too (the patch probably under 50 lines, very simple code too). If anyone would like the patch to be implemented in CVS, let me know. On Fri, 2007-11-16 at 22:58 +0100, Johannes Schlüter wrote:

Hi Sam, you could use pecl/runkit for registering your own super globals. See example 2071 on http://de3.php.net/manual/en/ref.runkit.php johannes On Fri, 2007-11-16 at 15:53 -0500, Sam Barrow wrote:

    
I am trying to develop a patch for personal use to enable custom

superglobals. I seemed to have had it working, but am I allowed to specify superglobals in my script, or do they have to be specified in an ini file or statically in the PHP code? I created a superglobal keyword and a function that calls zend_register_auto_global upon the use of this keyword, but it doesn't work. It calls zend_register_auto_global correctly and passes the variable name and length of the variable name, but when i try to access the variable inside a function in my PHP script, it is undefined. However I am able to hard code my superglobal into the PHP source files and it works. Is there some type of restriction on setting superglobals at runtime, or does the structure of the PHP interpreter not allow this, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advanced for your help.
