How? Reverse '$GLOBALS[var_name] = some_value' back to '$var_name = some_value

[sherry]

Hello.

I've created a 1-D array of pre-defined list of selected var names that I've added to a function's 'global' statement instead of listing them individually in the global statement each time they're needed.

Upon form submission, the form data becomes '$GLOBALS[var_name] = some_value'.

What is the best way to reverse a '$GLOBALS[var_name] = some_value' back to its pre-defined form '$var_name = some_value' and put them into the namespace within the function where the original variables are called? 😕

I've created the selected list of vars so that the reversal is not done for every var in the $GLOBALS array.

There are separate files included in the function that call the original pre-defined var name syntax.

Thanks.

EDIT: Not all of the vars needed are from the form submission so therefore, all are not in $_POST.

there's no need to 'reverse' it the variables can be used as is.

..But if you must extract()

Thanks, dagon.

The included file(s) call for the original var syntax within the text, therefore I believe the $GLOBALS array for those selected vars need to be 'extracted.'

Thanks again!

UPDATE:

The 'extract' var works BEAUTIFULLY!

Thanks, dagon!
