Note Submitter: crack wilding ---- Another way of dealing with a large number of globals is to declare a single global array and then put all your global variables into it. Like this: <?php $_G = array( 'foo' => 'some text', 'bar' => 4, 'boo' => 'more text, 'far' => 'yet more text' ); ?> Now you just declare the one global array in each function: <?php function blah() { global $_G; echo $_G['foo']; // or whatever } ?> You can freely add to it without having to go back and add variable declarations to your functions. Kinda like using the $GLOBALS superglobal, except you don't have to type so much.
