Why have you wrapped $key in a pair of double quotes?

Well, I don't know? I was hoping that you could test that for me :-)
Try making a simple file like this:
function f($a) {
$GLOBALS['foo'] = $a;
}
f('Hello');
echo $foo;
That should print Hello, indicating that the function f is able to
access the global variables through $GLOBALS.

But... it's really easy to install PHP4 - if they managed to install
PHP3, then it shouldn't take them more that half an hour to install
PHP4... but on the other hand: I would like to support all possible
versions of PHP, so it's not all bad :-)
