New Comment:
global scope != at the main scope of your file. Remember that a file
could be included in a function's scope. But sure, it doesn't make much
sense to have those in the real global scope, not sure it's worth a
runtime notice/warning though

Hi!
Either its some documentation problem or a error reporting problem, but
"static" and "global" can be used in the global scope, and this makes no
sense?
Or is it some kind of: make statics or globalize variables in a file
included in a function in another file? if so, close this bugreport and
eventually make some documentation for that... :)
thx and greets
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
# The php doc says "A static variable exists only in a local function
scope"
# but this does not fail in any way:
static $test = 1;
echo("test for static successfull\n");
# As global does only makes sense within the function, this should
fail
# also with some error or something:
global $test2;
echo("test2 for global successfull\n");
Expected result:
----------------
Any error message like "The keyword static|global is not allowed in
global scope"
Actual result:
--------------
test for static successfull
test2 for global successfull
------------------------------------------------------------------------
