Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] $core Object?

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Richard:

Yes, I liked using it too. However for the sake of standards (and possible
security), we dumped it for the GLOBALS array.

In the future, we want to think about not using SESSIONS or GLOBALS at
all. What I mean is that you the developer should not have to worry if a
variable is declared or if a session is created. I am finding the whole
GLOBALS theme variable thing tedious and sloppy.

So "$GLOBALS['core']" will turn into "core::" (or more likely
PHPWS_Text::, PHPWS_DB::, etc.). $_SESSION['translate'] would be
PHPWS_Translate:: and so on. It should not be incumbent upon to the module
developer to remember session names and the like.

We will talk more about these changes down the road in the developer
chatroom and here of course. In the end though 0.9.3 is going to blow away
0.9.2.
