From: randallgirard at hotmail dot com Operating system: Windows / Linux PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: new superglobal...
Description: ------------ Just as there is a $GLOBALS var pointing to the global scope, there should also be a $SCOPE or $LOCALS var pointing to the current local, usually function/method scope. This would add alot of coding potential, and should be included in the language because of misc features like variable variables which appear to utilize the local, then global scope if the var is not defined locally. It would also greatly aid in debugging, as you could quickly and easily dump all var's in the scope... And, I'm sure others could find many more uses for such a feature. If such a feature allready exists, I'm sorry for my ignorance and I would greatly appreciate feedback informing me of how a local scope array could be accessed.
