is there any benefit in removing those features? I can see that Code using these features is probably designed badly or unconventionally, but php has never been a designers-language...right? It's always been about being easy to use. Even without globals you can still use: Class GLOBALS{ 
    public static $foo;
} GLOBALS::$foo = 'x'; so...you can't keep people from hurting themselves...right? -1 Cheers, Lars
