here is the concept I have but read #2 for probably an even better concept:
#1
variable_storage('bookmark'); //initialize this function to begin recording
require('some_cool_component.php'); //this is a plugin or something similar perhaps
$group='cooldata'; //this could have been declared in the plugin just as well
$$group=variable_storage(); //all NEW variables created since variable_storage bookmark are now stored in $cooldata
I know I could have the first call of the variable recurse globals and create a list, then recurse it again on 2nd call and of course any new entry is a newly created variable - but is there a more elegant way than this? Appreciate your feedback.
#2 it would be totally awesome if instead of the conniptions above, there was a way to automatically know what variables are created in a given FILE, so that in the component itself, at the bottom, i just do one line:
$cooldata=var_storage();
again, that depends if PHP has some automatic checking system about this. Thanks in advance.
