[PHP] Question on functions

[Jason]

My question is in regard to passing global variables to a function. 
Here is my code, any idea why it is not working?  I suppose my 
understanding of a global variable being able to be used within a 
function is off?

global $array = array( "0" => "hostname", "1" => "username", "2" => 
"password" );

function database()
{
 $dbase = mysql_pconnect( $array[0], $array[1], $array[2] )or die( 
mysql_error());
 if( connection_status() != 1 ) {
	echo "connection failed";
 }
}

call_user_func( "database" );
