I don't like global variables much, but I make an exception for
settings. Just create a settings.php file that contains all
server-dependent settings as assignments to global variables and include
that file from the pages that needs them. You can put the settings file
outside the webroot, so it will be hard to get for a normal web user.

Best regards
