create superglobal variables in php?

Question

Hello,

is there a way to create my own custom superglobal variables like $_POST and $_GET?

Answer 1

No. There are workarounds, but I'm not going to tell them to you as globals are bad. :)

Answer 2

Not really. though you can just abuse the ones that are there if you don't mind the ugliness of it.

Answer 3

simple!

$GLOBALS['_MYVAR'] = 'foo';

print_r($_MYVAR);

Answer 4

Static class variables can be referenced globally, e.g.:

class myGlobals {

   static $myVariable;

}

function a() {

  print myGlobals::$myVariable;

}

Answer 5

I think you already have it - every variable you create in global space can be accessed using the $GLOBALS suberglobal like this:

// in global space
$myVar = "hello";

// inside a function
function foo() {
    echo $GLOBALS['myVar'];
}

Answer 6

You can also use the Environment variables of the server, and access these in PHP This is a good way to maybe store global database access if you own and exclusively use the server.
