Hi gang:
More of a question of method rather than of "right" or "wrong" -- of the
two methods mentioned here, which way would be "better" and why?
Initially I used to access global variables using the "global" keyword -
function foo()
{
global $bar;
}
However if the function code is a bit longer, it gets difficult to see
if $bar is still actually used, after some revisions.
So I switched to using $GLOBALS. Inside $GLOBALS I store variables,
arrays and initiated objects (for instance $DB, for database access) -
which I call -
$GLOBALS["DB"]->connect;
I do not consider it "polluting" - it is there to be used. If your code
is part of something bigger, then you need a convention, and if you
convention supports this method, it's all right.
For some reason I do not like the "::" operator, it's visually too
unstable :)
