I had a static variable that I would add elements to as my function's recursion would go deeper. With RC1 and previous versions of PHP, changes to that static array inside recursive calls would still be there after those recursive calls exited. Not so with RC2 and the final release. I am now forced to use a global variable to store this temporary array.

This problem has occurred at two separate web hosts I'm using as they upgraded their versions of PHP - missoulaweb.com and phpwebhosting.com
