In order to use variables outside of a function, I have to do this:
<?php
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
function Sum()
{
global $a, $b;
$b = $a + $b;
}
Sum();
echo $b;
?>
What if there are a lot of global variables, and I just want them all to be locally scoped inside the function? How do I do this without maintaining a long list of global declarations at the beginning of each function? I'm not concerned about best practices, or all the reasons it may be considered dangerous.
