$GLOBALS['argv']

[ts10]

I am editing some old code from another programmer and keep getting data from $GLOBALS['argv'].

I have no idea what this is and can't seem to find any info on it other than people are using it.

Can anyone tell me where this is set at or what causes a $GLOBALS['argv'] variable to be set? Where should I look to find the source?

Thanks!

Congratulations! You just found out why using globals sux teh bigtime...

About the GLOBALS: you find it in the manual here

The variable could be set anywhere in the code, and when the other guy relied on the "register_globals" setting set to "on"....then you will even have to find every occurence of $argv and make sure that in the context where you find it, it really refers to the global variable and not to a locally declared one.

If it is an option (time is a factor) try and get rid of anything in the global scope...

$argv is from the command line, see: Using PHP from the command line
