I answered a question on Stack Overflow about PHP's $_POST variable; variables like this are called superglobals in the PHP documentation. The poster said that "superglobal" should mean that the value is shared by all scripts, because his intuitive interpretation of the term means that its scope should be wider than an ordinary global variable. Never mind that this is not actually a common computer term, the PHP designers coined it themselves to refer to their particular use (these variables are "super" because they're automatically visible in functions and methods, you don't have to use the "global" declaration). -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA
