[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #6191: Can't return global variable when defined with a dynamic name using eval From: smaug <email protected>
Date: 08/15/00

From: smaug <email protected>
Operating system: Windows 2000 Pro / Apache 1.3.12
PHP version: 4.0.1pl2
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Can't return global variable when defined with a dynamic name using eval

this doesn't work:

function _global($___name) {
        eval('global $' . $___name . ';');
        eval('return $' . $___name . ';');
}

this version does:

function _global($___name) {
        eval('global $' . $___name . ';');
        eval('$___temp = $' . $___name . ';');
        return $___temp;
}
