Hi,
I'm working on a site where I'm using geeklog
http://geeklog.sourceforge.net/
It has the requirement that
> "Geeklog needs the register_globals variable turned on in order to work.
> Since PHP 4.2.0, the default for register_globals is "off". To fix it,
> simply add the following line to your php.ini file
Is this not *wrong*. It sounds to me like fake laziness. Nothing drives
me bonkers more than trying to track down a variable that is inherited
from who knows where.
Perhaps I'm missing something. I've recently worked on a lot of PHP
code written by others and it's a nightmare trying to track down where
a variable is defined and where it's value might be changed. Perhaps
there is some tool I can use to trace this. I dunno.
Am I correct in my aversion to globals or I am I missing their true
value and perhaps some tools I could use when working on apps that have
more than 50 php files floating all over the place and no
documentation.
