Or you can use superglobal variable $GLOBALS that is array containing all GLOBAL variables. This variable is superglobal thus does not need to be declared global using 'global $GLOBALS;' statement. Works anywhere.
function database() { ... $GLOBALS['array'][0], $GLOBALS['array'][1] ... }

Tip: I recommend to not use GLOBALS for this type of data. Better use function parameters -> function database($host, $user, $pwd, $db) {...} It will save you time when your application grows and starts clashing with other global variables or third party pieces of code ;-)

My question is in regard to passing global variables to a function. Here is my code, any idea why it is not working? I suppose my understanding of a global variable being able to be used within a function is off?
global $array = array( "0" => "hostname", "1" => "username", "2" => "password" );
function database() {
You need to declare it global within the function...
function database() { global $array; ...
thanks, it figures it is something easy like that... =)
