   3 PHP loves globals. I hate them. This is not a great
   4 combination, but I manage. I could get rid of most of
   5 them by having a single "HTTP request" object, and using
   6 it to hold everything that's now global (which is exactly
   7 what I'd do in a Java servlet). But that's really
   8 awkward in PHP, and wouldn't really provide much benefit
   9 in readability or maintainability, so I go with the flow
  10 of PHP and use globals.  Here's documentation on the
  11 important globals used by the system.
