[PHP] Too much of $GLOBALS[] a problem??

[Ow Mun Heng]

Hi All,

        Just a quick question on this. In my scripts, I'm using A LOT Of
$GLOBALS['my_parameter'] to get the declared values/string. 1 example  below
:

function display_menu_html()
{
        echo '<table class="width100" cellspacing="0">'."\n";
        echo '<tr>'."\n";
        echo "\t".'<td class="menu">'."\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="home.php">' . $GLOBALS['home'] . "</a>
&nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="view_tracker.php">' . $GLOBALS['view_tracker'] .
"</a> &nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="initialise_fa.php">' . $GLOBALS['initialise_fa']
. "</a> &nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="mass_initialiase_fa.php">' .
$GLOBALS['mass_initialiase_fa'] . "</a> &nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="Summary.php">' . $GLOBALS['overall_summary'] .
"</a> &nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="account.php">' . $GLOBALS['edit_account'] .
"</a> &nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t".'<a href="logout.php">' . $GLOBALS['logout'] . "</a>
&nbsp|\n";
        echo "\t</td>\n";
        echo "\t".'<td class="right" style="white-space: nowrap">'."\n"; 
        echo "\t".'<form input="post" action="jump_to_fa.php">'."\n";
        echo "\t".'<input type="text" name="fa_id" size="12"
class="bold-small" />'."\n";
        echo "\t".'<input type="submit" value="' . $GLOBALS['goto_fa'] . '"
class="small" /> '."\n";
        echo "</form>\n";
        echo "\t</td>\n";
        echo "</tr>\n";
        echo "</table>\n";

         
}

This isn't really a Problem but.. is it bad programming practice?? Or I
should just write another function that can return the values/string?

Any thots?
