Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. If one is marked as "Won't fix" why are you repeating the report? Obviously we're not going to do it now either...

It would be nice to have a programming construct that turns a regular variable into a superglobal along the same lines as $_GET/$_REQUEST/$_POST/$_SERVER/etc. I have a large project that has a 'configuration' stored in the global $CFG. Having to global this (or type $GLOBALS['CFG']) every time it needs to be checked inside one of a multitude of functions is very time consuming. I'd rather be able to write: superglobal $CFG; just once, since it's much cleaner than having to remember to global it everywhere. If it's the programmer's discretion as to whether a variable is a superglobal (rather than all variables being 'superglobal' like in some other languages) it should avoid the "nasty global variable side-effects" that other languages are prone to ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33409&edit=1
