how hard it will be to grep for "global" and $GLOBALS?
Not hard for you or I but what about the beginners out there, will they know
how to find them or work around the use of globals?
Yes, as the documentation will mention how to do it, for old
applications. For new apps it is easy - pass all the information you
need as parameter to the function. It works in other languages, why
shouldn't it work for PHP?
In short I like it but I'm not sure how it would ever get implemented without
breaking stuff... (this is where the clever core developers can propose some
easy method I can't think of right now)
INI variable, like register_globals
Sorry, I wasn't being very clear there, what I really meant to say was will
there be the will to remove it considering the effects.
I suppose INI is enough to allow it to be easily changed, but would it ever
become a default setting of off, rather than something that can be optionally
off?
mild migration path
