Note Submitter: dpk at dpk dot net ---- This may have been covered in some other way, but I'm not certain. When you assign an array to a $GLOBALS member, and then assign a variable to that array, you somehow destroy the data inside of $GLOBALS, contrary to what you'd expect: $GLOBALS['foo'] = array ('bar' => 'frank'); print $GLOBALS['foo']['bar']; print "\n"; $foo = $GLOBALS['foo']['bar']; print "$foo\n"; print $GLOBALS['foo']['bar']; print "\n"; prints: frank frank f rather than "frank frank frank". I don't know how to fix this, so I'm just posting this so others know what to expect.
