How to add (or emulate) a new superglobal

[P Pulkkinen]

This is just for curiosity, but:

Lets say I would like to have a new superglobal, in addition to
automatically made get, post, cookie and session.

I mean, I would (theoretically) want to AVOID doing

function ()
{
global $config;
....
}

and just be able to use $config in functions and classes.
Not that it would be the nicest practise though. But let's say for the sake
of fun or doing it.

Is there a way? Of course you could reset, set and reset again some session
variable, but that would not be very nice way.

Why not simply throw your stuff in $GLOBALS?

Something like this:
$myVars = array('nr1' =123, 'nr2' ="bla");
$GLOBALS[] = $myVars;

It should have the same effect. I think.

Well, I have not tried. I hope it works. I thought $GLOBALS, or was it
$_GLOBALS, was only reserved for php inner automatic use.

Yes, I asked in the very newsgroup a week ago how to throw out all variables
in PHP.
I tried print_r($_GLOBALS), but it turned out the developers named it in
their infinite wisdom $GLOBALS without the _.
