  <title>List of Reserved Words</title>
  <para>
   The following is a listing of predefined identifiers in PHP. None
   of the identifiers listed here should be used as identifiers in a
   your scripts. These lists include keywords and predefined variable,
   constant, and class names. These lists are neither exhaustive or
   complete.

  <title>List of Keywords</title>
   <simpara>
    These words have special meaning in PHP. Some of them represent things 
    which look like functions, some look like constants, and so on--but 
    they're not, really: they are language constructs. You cannot use any
    of the following words as constants, class names, or function names. 
    Using them as variable names is generally OK, but could lead to confusion.

   <sect2 id="reserved.variables.server">
    <title>Server variables: <varname>$_SERVER</varname></title>
    <note>
     <simpara>
      Introduced in 4.1.0. In earlier versions, use
      <varname>$HTTP_SERVER_VARS</varname>.
     </simpara>
    </note>
    
    <simpara>
     <varname>$_SERVER</varname> is an array containing information
     such as headers, paths, and script locations. The entries in this
     array are created by the webserver. There is no guarantee that
     every webserver will provide any of these; servers may omit some,
     or provide others not listed here. That said, a large number of
     these variables are accounted for in the <ulink
     url="&url.cgispec;">CGI 1.1 specification</ulink>, so you should
     be able to expect those.
    </simpara>

    <simpara>
     This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. This
     simply means that it is available in all scopes throughout a
     script. You don't need to do a <command>global
     $_SERVER;</command> to access it within functions or methods, as
     you do with <varname>$HTTP_SERVER_VARS</varname>.
    </simpara>

    <simpara>
     <varname>$HTTP_SERVER_VARS</varname> contains the same
     information, but is not an autoglobal. 
    </simpara>

    <simpara>
     If the <link
     linkend="ini.register-globals">register_globals</link> directive
     is set, then these variables will also be made available in the
     global scope of the script; i.e., separate from the
     <varname>$_SERVER</varname> and <varname>$HTTP_SERVER_VARS</varname> 
     arrays.  For related information, see the security chapter titled 
     <link linkend="security.registerglobals">Using Register
      Globals</link>. These individual globals are not autoglobals.
    </simpara>

    <simpara>
     You may or may not find any of the following elements in
     $_SERVER. Note that few, if any, of these will be available (or
     indeed have any meaning) if running PHP on the command line.

         address <filename>http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar</filename>
         would be <filename>/test.php/foo.bar</filename>.

     These variables are imported into PHP's global namespace from the
     environment under which the PHP parser is running. Many are
     provided by the shell under which PHP is running and different
     systems are likely running different kinds of shells, a
     definitive list is impossible. Please see your shell's
     documentation for a list of defined environment variables.
