So, my understanding was the variable is being declared/set elsewhere, and is only being imported into the class/method block via the "global" command. How does -> global $MyGlobal; differ from -> global $GLOBALS['MyGlobal']; in this scenario? Is there a danger that you've inadvertently redeclared $MyGlobal somewhere in your local code, not intending for it to replace $GLOBALS['MyGlobal'], meaning it's possible that both could exist separately? -- CRB Let me introduce you to my very own DMCA-protected encryption key: BC 1B 64 4A 8D DE 49 E8 C3 7D CC EE 1A AD EE F5 (compliments of Freedom-to-Tinker http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1155)
