Hello fellow programmers,

Recently I've run into an interesting bug? or possibly my own
ignorance. I wrote a class (php 4) and in the constructor made an
array global. Now the array is included into the file as a
configuration mechanism. However, the constructor for what ever reason
does not recognize the imported variable. Here's a summarized version
of the source:

config.inc:

$db['user'] = "foo";
$db['pass'] = "bar";

class.db.php:

require_once('config.inc');

Class db
{
var $user
var $pass

function db()
{
global $db;

}


}


After that point initialization occurs but $db never gets read into
the internal variables... can anyone explain this seemingly anomolous
event to me?
