[dcphp-dev] Re: Global Variables Question
I agree with Ray that dependency injection is a more elegant solution to the problem. It makes certain resources, for example, a database connection, available throughout an application or framework, while minimizing mutability and the problems & confusion that come with it. Here's another article that talks about it in the context of the broader concept of Inversion of Control: https://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html.For...

Basically what Kevin said.

Re: [dcphp-dev] Global Variables Question
This use is mostly a hangover from when PHP development was more procedural than object-oriented. I agree it is best avoided altogether, but it can be used when you need to access a global variable while inside a function.The discussion of static variables in the manual's entry on variable scope is fruitful reading: http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php.--dan millsOn Sun, Mar 26, 2017 at 10:08 AM, Whitney...
Re: [dcphp-dev] Global Variables Question
Whitney,
This advice is likely because include/require can be placed inside of a function (as well as in the global scope). When placed in a function, the included file's code executes within the scope of the function, so the included file's "global scope" is not *actually* in the global scope. (Think of include and require as being replaced with the content of the script they include. They do not create a new scope, nor drop...
Re: [dcphp-dev] Global Variables Question
Hi Whitney,As a general rule, don't get in the habit of using global… ever. It blows through class and function walls and can create security holes. That being said, sometimes you have to maintain old code that still has it. If you run across it, make it your goal to refactor those out over time by passing variables and objects correctly through class and function properties.As far as having at the head of a file vs inside a function...

Hi all,I am reading a book (PHP and MySQL Web Development - Thomson, Welling; 5th Ed.; Addison-Wesley) and am trying to understand the following passage regarding global variables:You can also use the global keyword at the top of a script when a variable is first used to declare that it should be in scope throughout the script. This is possibly a more common use of the global keyword.Can someone explain...
