I strongly recommend against using globals at all possible. It's a bad programming practice, and you're better off using references and passing them on construct to use them in the $this context. If you're worried about parameters, you can simply use an associative array to store any passed variables to it. Overall, the main idea is to avoid using globals. http://www.phpit.net/article/using-globals-php/ Is a good article detailing other reasons why using the global scope is a very bad idea. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.173.205.18 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.globals.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86406 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86406 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86406 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
