I was always tought very simply, don't use globals :)
However, that isn't always an option. I have no problems with the way PHP
does things. I think its a good idea for the shelter. What I find
interesting is that it seems when you are first learning a language, you use
more globals, than when you are more experienced with it. When I first
started programmig in C, 99% of my variables were global. Look at any of my
C/C++ code nowadays, over 10 years later, and you will be hard pressed to
find a global.
PHP is still new to me, so i'm still trying to use alot of globals. Because
of the way PHP handles it, i'm jumping through a few hoops. That is
annoying, but I don't consider it a problem, because as I get better, I know
I will go back through and rewrite things to not use globals. I guess my
confusion is this: I am passing all my variables around between scripts by
sending them through the URLs (index.php?mode=index). I guess what "annoys"
me, is I would expect those to be available from inside the functions, but
they aren't.
