Yes,it's self compiled, why using _VARS, and not directly local_variables? because php has some weird var logic, like say $a =1; echo $GLOBALS["a"]; //this is 1, it automaticly affects entry in $GLOBALS, and in the opposite direction,
$GLOBALS["a"]=1; echo $a; //now $a is 1, which is really unfornate. not to mention some indirect variable access. like $a=1; $c="a"; echo $$c; // this is 1, or $$c = 2; //if affects $a,$GLOBALS["a"], which is unfornate, all the ugliness is to handle php's weird behavior.
