If my website is made of hundreds of different pages, then, I should better

Even if that's not good programming practive, at least, with global

different scripts. (which is not the case with lexical variables)
No, if the message you're getting is to use globals instead of
lexicals then you've got it all wrong.
- Use lexicals for everything, unless you actually want the value to
persist across requests.
- Don't load large amounts of data into scalars.
- Use mysql_use_result if you have to load a very large result set.
Ideally you should avoid this by using LIMIT and OFFSET.
Does that make sense?
