note 39208 added to language.variables.scope

So as I see it - If I have to count on many variables, defined for instance in a config.inc.php file, that's included in another inlude file - lets say functions.inc.php - I have but three alternatives for access to them: 1) declare all the needed varables with the global statement in config.inc.php - gthat means I have to enumerate them all, which is inefficient; 2)declare the vars as global in the functions.inc.php, which means to enumerate them <=>inefficient; 3)include the config.inc.php in each function in the functions.inc.php - which is n times more inefficient; Am I right and is there a shortcut way through this issue? macca ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39208 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39208&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39208&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
