Well, I don't think this has anything to do with predefined variables being global or not because I only have use for them within the specific methods. The methods will capture their values and assign them to a variable inside the function, which will return that variable at the end. The processing of $PHP_SELF and $DOCUMENT_ROOT only happens in one place. I might be wrong, not sure. But right now all I know is that I am confused and the link you sent me didn't help explain what I need to know because it states no mention of predefined variables. Can you perhaps give me an example of what you are trying to tell me?
I read about variable scope and it says nothing about predefined variables. So how will using the $_SERVER associate array help me with this? Remember that globals is on, so I don't need to use $_SERVER, $_POST, $_GET, etc. to get my values. But, in the meantime I'll go ahead and try using the associate autoglobal arrays anyway, like $_SERVER, just to test it and to see if it works for me. And if it does, it'll bug me until I find out why it works. Thanks your input Philip. If anyone else has any thoughts or explainations for me to understad this then that would be great. >> >>Read: >> http://www.php.net/variables.scope >> >>Also note that $_SERVER is an autoglobal. >> >>Regards, >>Philip > -----Original Message----- > From: @ Nilaab [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 1:46 PM > To: Php-General > Subject: [PHP] Predefined Variables In Classes > > > Hello Everyone, > > I am a little confused.
