universal globals

[Anon]

Is there any way to simply declare a variable's scope as global?

That is to say, I have numerous variables which are used in nearly every function in my application. It would be useful to be able to declare scope once, rather than at every function declaration.

thanks for any help you can offer.

well you could put all your functions into a class and then make these variable class-level variables then they can be used in any function by calling $this->variablename.
class test {
var $test = "Me";

function 1() {
print $this->test;
}

}
