note 30484 added to language.variables.predefined

Warning: If you use dynamic variables in a local scope, the variable doesn't "know" when it should be a superglobal. An example will help elucidate this: function Example($Variable_Name='_POST') { print_r($$Variable_Name); } // End Example This would print out NULL To use a dynamic variable to reference a superglobal, you have to declare the value (not the name) as a global: function WorkingExample($Variable_Name='_POST') { global $$Variable_Name; print_r($$Variable_Name); } // End WorkingExample() This would print out the contents of your $_POST variable. This threw me when I first tried it, but it makes sense, in a way. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30484 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30484 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30484
