Description:
------------
global keyword doesn't work in for loops because of scope issues I guess. causes a problem with my code, which wants to generate a collection of variable variables. I must manual,ly declare them all rather than iterating through the loop. the variable variables generated for stats are:
$VISITORfilecount
$VISITORfoldercount
$VISITORhttpcount
$ADMINfilecount
$ADMINfoldercount
$ADMINhttpcount
$PAIDWEBAPPSfilecount
$PAIDWEBAPPSfoldercount
$PAIDWEBAPPShttpcount
...
you COULD generate them using a nested for loop, which might be next. theoretically. but it doesn't work practically. because of scope problems, code fails in the Report() function and variable is invisible unless you have the line 
global ${'VISITORfilecount'};
in the code (as in the example), normally this would not be in my code, because the list of VISITOR... changes with the web sites I configure for in the config file in which this resides - manually globalling is unnecessary.
