a) You should never use 'global' under normal circumstances. The very few occasions where you really, really need a global variable it should be painful and done with $GLOBALS IMHO. Mentioning 'global' and 'teaching PHP' in the same posting makes me shiver ;-) b) Use E_NOTICE if you are want PHP baby-sitting you by complaining about undefined variables. Using undefined variables is a key feature for me so I won't use E_NOTICE (in an unpatched form ;-)) but if you insist: The option is there. - Chris -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
