Bug description: Variable superglobal variable not recognised within function and
method
Hello :-)
The definition of a variable variable as superglobal works fine when put
in the main coding (i.e. not within a function or method). Example:
<?php
$aVariable = 'GET';
echo ${"_{$aVariable}"};
?>
The system output is: Array
In the next example however, where the same code is put into a function,
the resulting output is a error message instead:
<?php
function aFunction()
{
$aVariable = 'GET';
echo ${"_{$aVariable}"};
}
aFunction();
?>
The system output is: Notice: Undefined variable: _GET in Bestand.php on
line 6.
Also when $_GET has been defined as global (which should not be necessary)
this malfunction remains.
Suggested intermediate solution:
<?php
function aFunction()
{
$aVariable = 'GET';
echo $GLOBALS["_{$aVariable}"];
}
aFunction();
?>
