globals question

[ferric844]

Hello folks,

At the top of my page, I have this code:

<?
$username="username";
$password="password";
$database="database";
?>

I'd like to use those variables in a function without stating:

global $username;
global $password;
global $database;

Sure, I could just pass those variables into the function, however, I have another function where I will need to pass in 2 dozen variables, which is not feasible. Is there another way to go about it?

Using ...

$GLOBALS['username']="username";
$GLOBALS['password']="password";
$GLOBALS['database']="database";

will do the trick.

P.
