Hello All,
Thanks for joining the conversation. It seems there where no real
technical
dead end for using $GLOBALS directly.
Using $GLOBALS directly very similar to coding standarts. It just up
to you.
Also I try explain my enviroment a liddle bit.
First of all my function declarationgs gonna like this
// Set Shorcut Variables
$arrConf = &$GLOBALS['_LIVE']['_CONF'];
$arrStat = &$GLOBALS['_LIVE']['_STAT'];
$arrDomSet = &$GLOBALS['_LIVE']['_DOMN'][$GLOBALS['_LIVE']['_STAT']
['curDom']]
['settings'];
$arrLang = &$GLOBALS['_LIVE']['_LANG'][$arrStat['language']];
$rootDir = &$arrConf['rootDir'];
$webDir = &$arrConf['webDir'];
$arrDb = &$arrConf['_DB'];
$arrDbg = &$GLOBALS['_LIVE']['_DEBG'];
Why are you using references to the $GLOBALS? If they're global, then
there's only 1 instance/reference to it. Seems needless...
It grows and grows. And some times in small functions, function
declarations
become larger than the function actual code.
Most of those GLOBALS usage are read only (like configuration
variables, or
stored language keys) or need to update anywhere in the system.
And unde one condition it may become problem.
If 3rd party users develop some code under my enviroment and if
there where
some change about GLOBALS['name'] or PHP core developers may change
GLOBALS
to GLB (or someting like that) there may problem to update 3rd party
code.
To prevent this, putting some variable translation functions for 3rd
party
developers was good idea.
Other than this for my point of view it was very useful.
Thank you very much all of you.
Sancar
