If your $_MyVar isn't a superglobal with http://php.net/runkit, it probably shouldn't be $_ That said, I do the same thing, for the variables I make that I WISH were superglobals. :-) Given that the list of superglobals is incredibly short, and that I know damn well the $_PATH variable I made up is NOT a superglobal, I've never had a problem doing this. But if I worked somewhere and the boss say "Don't do that" I'd just fix it and not argue, that's for sure. By all rights, $GLOBALS should be $_GLOBALS, but it existed way too early in PHP history and re-naming it would be a real pain. PS I *think* this explanation of $_ is in the manual, but maybe it's from some book/interview/paper from Rasmus or something...
