Description: ------------ Currently there is no way to access global variables inside a function/class scope without using the global keyword or $GLOBAL variable As a result it is not possible to create for example a Config class that can easily be accessed throughout an entire project To have usable code one is forced to use static classes, retrofit some sort of static constructor/init function and reference the config variables with for example Config::$defaultUser If it where possible to register custom superglobal one could use an instance of these kind of classes instead of a static class. For php7 it is said that an Array Constant can be created which will create a partial solution. Having the possibility to register a variable as a superglobal would greatly reduce the need for static classes and/or other trickery. An alternative would be to have the possibility of adding custom superglobals in php.ini but this would be less practical Test script: --------------- // Suggested ways to use it on the php coding side $config = Config::getInstance(); //singleTon register_superglobal($config); function X(){ $config->saveSettings(); }
