This can be accomplished in user-space, by cheating the existing $_*
superglobals (if you must -- cowiki does this, IIRC):
<?php
$_SERVER['foo'] = array('bar', 'baz');
function oink()
{
print_r($_SERVER['foo']);
}
oink();

That is one more word (to type) to access the variable,
each time. If you acces a variable more than once in
the function you would probably like to declare it
global (the usual way). Or even
extact($GLOBALS['my_globs']);
which would be a hash of all globals one usually needs.
I don't see much of advantage here.
The most frustrating case would be one usage of a
global per function. "superglobals" would save a lot
of typing. The suggested method wouldn't.
This discussion is theoretical anyway because Andi
already said "no" ...
