I want know  to you opinions about using $GLOBALS directly.

like

$GLOBALS['myString'] = 'test';
$GLOBALS['myArray']['this'] = 'this';
$GLOBALS['myArray']['that'] = 'that';
$GLOBALS['myClassObj] = new SomeClass;
Don't.

You are using global variables, and you might as well admit it and
use
the 'global' keyword to designate them as such.

Poking stuff into $GLOBALS instead just makes it look like you're
trying to pretend you're not using global variables when you are, to
me.

I did form this opinion before altering $GLOBALS was a documented
feature.
I would have to disagree. Using the global keyword makes it less
obvious
that the variable your dealing with is in the global scope. Using
$GLOBALS instead makes it clear to anyone looking at the code that
you're dealing with a global variable.
Since the global keyword MEANS that the variable is in the global
scope, I'm having a hard time seeing how it's less clear that the
variable is in the global scope...

well, if you have a long and complex function declaration which begins
with global $whatever, and then all over the function $whatever is used,
some dozens of lines later when looking for something in the code you
might not have any idea that $whatever is global... however if you used
$GLOBALS['whatever'] everywhere it would be trivial.

Indeed.
