ID: 62169 Comment by: joost dot koehoorn at gmail dot com Reported by: valentiny510 at yahoo dot es Summary: Use 'global' like a language structure Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *Programming Data Structures Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.4.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: My solution would be to introduce global as a scope identifier, so you could use it as: global::$object = new stdClass; global::$object->test = 'This is just a test'; function test() { return global::$object->test; } Although I do believe globals are evil and static class variables should be used at all times, this is a neat addition to avoid the very ugly and unclear global keyword. As it is now, you have to define a variable as global for it to resolve and act on the global variable. This makes code hard to read as it is not directly visible that this is the case. The above syntax would solve this problem.

To access a 'global' object into the function, first must be called trowght global.. function test() { global $object; return $object->some_method( ); } I wonder if is posible to use (in the future :P) the 'global' like other language structures.. Ex: function test() { return( global $object->some_method( ) ); } I know ... you will ask me why not use the namespaces, reflections, references, traits, or whatever.. but .. its not the point ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-02 00:59:13] valentiny510 at yahoo dot es In the first line I just wrote: "Imagine I have unset the ($GLOBALS)" for some reason.. (is ugly, security, memory consumption, the host provider doesn't allow) or who knows why ... I know how it works for now but the question is not about how to use "$GLOBALS". anyway, thanks for the time spent to answer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 13:35:41] riptide dot tempora at opinehub dot com For now: <?php function test() { return( $GLOBALS['object']->some_method( ) ); } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-26 20:31:16] valentiny510 at yahoo dot es Description: ------------ Imagine I have the, unset ( $GLOBAL )..
