One way to simulate an application object is to use the php.ini "auto_prepend_file" option. Set the file with your application variables to be the file you want to prepend to every file in your application. Now, the only part that you don't have is an easy way to add/update/delete these variables. I suppose you could write a fairly simple class that allowed you to manipulate the file line by line, which would essentially give you access to all the variables for add/update/delete functionality.
I use "auto_prepend_file" quite a bit for my applications and it acts just like an application object. I haven't found a time where I need/want to manipulate the variables "on the fly" within code. Most of the variables being set are simply configuration settings for the application, not variables needing to change and be shared across the application.
