Well, those aren't funcion parameters, those are system variables. One
thing is when you get HTTP_GET_VARS from the start, and other thing is
when you set some variable somewhere and then you functions in some other
parts of the code start to behave differently. Reminds me Perl $@&$^#^
variables a lot (that thing wasn't swear word, it was Perl variable :),
which is one of things I do not like there.

Your script will break on old version of PHP anyway, because you use
feature that isn't on that version. If so, it's better that it'd break
earlier and louder, not just subtly return wrong data.
