As http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php says:
This function is used to import variables from an array into
the current symbol table.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You might want to try declaring the variables that are to be extracted
as global - and see what happens, but I tend to prefer keeping things
to large configuration arrays and then local vars only where I can.

Caveat Programmer: don't name the default array foo_default (or
'{PREFIX}_') - if you had a parameter called 'default', the first
extract would overwrite it, and the second would probably fail (or if
it was an array, extract it - but still not what you wanted).
Caveat Programmer 2: You have to name the default variables in the
array the full and proper post-prefixed name, extract does not appear
to be able to (currently) EXTR_PREFIX_ALL _and_ EXTR_SKIP.
