[PHP] $GLOBALS array From: Philip MacIver (philipmaciver <email protected>)
Date: 12/23/01

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the

'global $varName'

function with the '$GLOBALS' array itself.

I have been having some trouble with this. I have decieded to switch of register_globals in the php.ini file (seeing as
it is now deprecated in version 4.1.0)
I know that register_globals is still supported, but I would like to get used to not using it.
But anyway, the problem I am having is that when I post data from a form to another page the data is not available
globally, so I wrote a method to register them globally, it looks like this

function globaliseVars($varArray) {
        global $GLOBALS;

        while (list($varName,$var) = each($varArray)) {
                $GLOBALS[trim($varName)] = trim($var);
        }
}

But doing 'global $GLOBALS' doesn't seem to make it refer to the actual '$GLOBALS' array, the only time it did work was
when I place something into the '$GLOBALS' array on the page that calls the function. So

/**
* This doesn't work
*/
globaliseVars($HTTP_POST_VARS);

/**
* But this does
*/
$GLOBALS["ANYTHING"] = "anything";
globaliseVars($HTTP_POST_VARS);

If anyone could help me with this problem please could they get in touch, because its driving me crazy.

Thanks!
