Just as Kevin Stone said, you can either use one of these constructions:
function func1() {
global $myarray;
array_push($myarray,1);
}
# _or_
function func2() {
array_push($GLOBALS['myarray'],1);
}
In fact, there is no performance decrease, because PHP will internally use the
same mechanism to access the array - as it would if you were not in a
function.
Another way would be to pass the array as a reference:
function func3(&$myarray) {
array_push($myarray, 1);
}
but this might decrease performace (in compare to the other ways, you will not
really notice it).
