[Phpmyadmin-devel] refactoring and superglobals

[Marc Delisle]

Hi,

We previously had a script called grab_globals.lib.php, which created
global variables from a few superglobals arrays.

When this script was removed a few weeks ago, we added at the beginning
of other scripts some code, for example in tbl_change.php:

if (isset($_REQUEST['where_clause'])) {
    $where_clause = $_REQUEST['where_clause'];
}

In the upcoming refactoring efforts, we should avoid this, because,
looking at the code further in the script, it's difficult to see the
origin of $where_clause. So, we should only refer to
$_REQUEST['where_clause'] (except in the situations where the global is
modified afterwards).

Another benefit is that this variable would not need to be passed as a
parameter to functions.
