storing variables outside a function..

currently I'm using session and I dont like it

[Buzbe]

I'm looking for a method to write to varible which doesnt need to be returned at the end of every function,

currently I'm achieving this by writing to the $_SESSION varible... is there another way to do this?

[hakre]

you can use global variables for that. instead of $_SESSION you can use $GLOBALS, working quite the same way.

werent globals disabled sometime in php4?

register_globals [php.net] were disabled by default. But hakre is referring to the superglobal array, $GLOBALS [php.net].
