Description:
------------
The keyword 'global' as in global $var; fails to globalize variables, when used inside a function, the variable remains NULL.

I am using Xampp (php/apache/ftp/etc all in one package), so i did not compile php myself the url for xampp is: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Reproduce code:
---------------
class meh {
   function bah(){
      echo "whoo?";
   }
}

$moo = new meh();

function meee(){
   global $moo;
   $moo->bah();
}

meee(); 

Expected result:
----------------
"whoo?"

Actual result:
--------------
"Fatal error: Call to a member function bah() on a non-object in /var/www/blahblahblah.php on line huh?"
