note 16968 added to functions.arguments

Follow up to resource passing: It appears that if you have defined the resource in the same file as the function that uses it, you can get away with the global trick. Here's the failure case: include "functions_doing_globals.php" $conn = openDatabaseConnection(); invoke_function_doing_global_conn(); ...that it fails. Perhaps it's some strange scoping problem with include/require, or globals trying to resolve before the variable is defined, rather than at function execution. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16968 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16968 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16968
