Hi,

[from php.net]
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/languag...perglobals.php

Superglobals — Superglobals are built-in variables that are always
available in all scopes
Description

Several predefined variables in PHP are "supergloba ls", which means they
are available in all scopes throughout a script. There is no need to do
global $variable; to access them within functions or methods.

These superglobal variables are:

* $GLOBALS
* $_SERVER
* $_GET
* $_POST
* $_FILES
* $_COOKIE
* $_SESSION
* $_REQUEST
* $_ENV
Regards,
Erwin Moller

PS: A tip: go to www.php.net, and use the search form.

I'm surprised you're still answering this guy Erwin, as his profile
still claims that he's you.

Aaargh! Damn.
I was so busy preparing my first XEN install, I didn't pay enough
attention. Darn, I felt for the noob.
My bad. :-(

Thanks for the quick correction.

Hi, i have a variable (well, an Object) which is needed in beneath every Script. it's not needed to be changed during the whole script, so i like to access it easyli without passing by or declare it as global in every function. afaik it isnt possible to set a variable to superglobal. Is there any reason why i shouldn't add it to the _SERVER array or any other superglobal? Thanks

This may seem like a stupid question but I want to check before I go ahead and build this... I am working on a portal, part of which allows users to upload files. Part of the array within $_FILES superglobal gives the mime type for the file. Is this 100% reliable / accurate? If the mime type says the file type is jpeg is it always right? Two reasons I want to know: 1. Certain types of files mustn't be uploaded, .exe files for example....

Hi, my site allows to upload images. For that reasons I have created a directory which have "drwxrwxrwx"-permission. I.e. everybody can write in that directory.
