I knew that I forgot something :/

$HTTP_*_VARS arrays are not superglobal. Hence you need to specify in
function that you're using global arrays or access them with $GLOBALS
array

Here's a bit modified example that should work:

------------------------

// custom global array
$myArray = array("some", "elements");

// array with names of global arrays you want to access
$globalArrayNames = array("HTTP_GET_VARS", "HTTP_POST_VARS",
"myArray");

// parameter is global array name
function showThisArray($globalArrayName) {
echo($globalArrayName . "\n"); // debug line
foreach($GLOBALS[$globalArrayName] as $k => $v ) {
echo($k . " = " . $v . "\n");
}
}

showThisArray($globalArrayNames[0]);
showThisArray($globalArrayNames[1]);
showThisArray($globalArrayNames[2]);

------------------------

Hope this helps
