Best way for global variables

[Anon]

I have a site that is accessed through one page. That page looks at what section is being called and then calls a process_section() function for that section. Inside of that functions many smaller functions are used to implement the section. These smaller functions all need access to several functions from the process_section() function. Is it better to pass these variables in every function call or to make them global variables in the process_section() function and then global them in the smaller functions so they are available.

Thanks

It'd make your code more "proper" if you passed the variables along with each function. It's just a good coding practice not to use global variables.

If you just want it to work, declare them all global at the beginning of the file, that way you don't have to worry about them...
