Description:
------------
99% sure this is a bug. This code works fine when apache runs it but when I run it though CLI it doesnt see the variable.

That said, this work:

$GLOBALS['jobID'] = 123;

Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

// In my script this function is included in a seperate file
function addLine() {
   global $jobID;
   echo $jobID;
}

$jobID = 123;

addLine();

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info.
We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary
part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.

There is no bug here. Works just fine.

@pajoye: register_globals has nothing to do with this; what are you saying?

That said, the test script appears to work perfectly. How could it not?

All I can say is that the function cannot see the variable in CLI but can do when its run by apache, which is why it confused me so much. My functions are being included in a seperate file, does this affect the global scope in CLI?
