Global Variables, Functions and Forms

[m1anh]

I still can not get this to work, sorry for being so thick!.

Can anyone please provide me with an example of how to convert each variable in a Form sent by POST to a global variable for uses any where within the script, including functions, without declearing each variable.

so my function2 display_table and output all the variable names used in my function1 post_form.

Something like:
foreach ($_post as $var) {

global $$var = $_post;
}
Many thanks
Ian.

No, it's not possible. If you want such a variable, it would have to be a superglobal, and the only superglobals in PHP are $POST, $GET, etc...You cannot create your own superglobals.

You should try to learn to work without globals. The computing world is now using object-oriented paradigms, which get rid of globals altogether. Later on, we may see aspect-oriented programming, which gets rid of even more unnecessary global stuff.
