$GLOBALS

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

$GLOBALS — References all variables available in global scope

Opis

An associative array containing references to all variables which are currently defined in the global scope of the script. The variable names are the keys of the array.

Przykłady

Przykład #1 $GLOBALS example


<?php
function test() {
    $foo = "local variable";

    echo '$foo in global scope: ' . $GLOBALS["foo"] . "\n";
    echo '$foo in current scope: ' . $foo . "\n";
}

$foo = "Example content";
test();
?>

Powyższy przykład wyświetli coś podobnego do:

$foo in global scope: Example content
$foo in current scope: local variable

Notatki

Informacja:
To jest zmienna "superglobalna" lub automatycznie ustawiona na globalną. To po prostu oznacza, że jest dostępna w każdym miejscu skryptu. Nie jest konieczne użycie global $zmienna; aby mieć do niej dostęp w funkcjach i metodach.

Informacja: Variable availability

Unlike all of the other superglobals, $GLOBALS has essentially always been available in PHP.

this is technique that i always did for configuration file..



<?php

$conf['conf']['foo'] = 'this is foo';

$conf['conf']['bar'] = 'this is bar';



function foobar() {

    global $conf;

    var_dump($conf);

}



foobar();



/*

result is..



array

  'conf' => 

    array

      'foo' => string 'this is foo' (length=11)

      'bar' => string 'this is bar' (length=11)



*/

?>

As of PHP 5.4 $GLOBALS is now initialized just-in-time. This means there now is an advantage to not use the $GLOBALS variable as you can avoid the overhead of initializing it. How much of an advantage that is I'm not sure, but I've never liked $GLOBALS much anyways.

Better yet, use print_r.  While var_dump does detect the recursion that var_export fails on, it seems to recurse one level first for my setup.  So var_dump ends up printing all globals twice, but print_r prints them only once since it detects the recursion right away.  Serialize seems to not detect the recursion at all either, similar to var_export.

Though you can use var_dump to output the value of $GLOBALS.

Keep in mind that $GLOBALS is, itself, a global variable. So code like this won't work:



<?php

    print '$GLOBALS = ' . var_export($GLOBALS, true) . "\n";

?>



This results in the error message: "Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?"
