help! declaring a global array

[Anon]

I searched the PHP documentaiton but could not find an answer...

I want to do something like this inside a function...

function (vars...) {

$somevalue[] = expression;

}

How do i ensure that the array $somevalue is Global in nature?

thanks a lot, in advance

$somevalue = array(); // create empty array globally

function func($var) {
global $somevalue;
$somevalue[] = $var;
}

Well, the way you really should do it...

$GLOBALS['myArray']

...you can declare that from anywhere.
Why is this better?
Well...

<?
function myfunc() {
$GLOBALS['myArray'] = value;
}

myfunc();
echo $GLOBALS['myArray'];
?>

The fact that we have no confusion as to what scope that var is coming from. And we have consistancy as any global is going to be written to $GLOBALS anyway...

<?
print_r($GLOBALS);
?>
..check it out, you can access the PHP auto-globals by calling them...
$GLOBALS['COOKIE']
$GLOBALS['PHPSESSID']
