Hello,

I just wanted to tell you that hidding Global scope variables when you are inside a function seems really totally weird to me...

Why do I have to make a Global statement with hundreds of variables names each time I want to build a function ?
I had created those as Global in the main code, so why the hell should I declare them global again ???

Now each time I want to build a function, I think twice about it because there are so much scope troubles that it is very hard to do... aren't functions supposed to simplify the code ?

Anyway, thanks you very much for PHP, it is a great language... to me, it would be absolutely perfect without this scope problem

Germain

I suggest the creating of a allways global scope's function like at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14712

Sorry. It probably won't happen.
