Some time ago I spoke with Derick Rethans about the possibility to create a function called “register_superglobal”.
Currently, we deal with a lot of interesting situations of web applications, and some really interesting are the superglobals variables. Seems there will be a change in superglobals soon and that’s why I decided to post about it here.

When you build an application in PHP, and you want to access the Database class instance in a method, you have 2 possibilities:

• Pass the global variable, like globals $db or accessing via $GLOBALS[’db’]
• Using a singleton pattern, and accessing $db = & Database::getInstance(); (PHP5 does not require the ref signal anymore)

While the last one seems to be the best solution, you have a problem of generating classes to each Database connection. So, if you are dealing with 3 Database connections, you will have to modify the singleton accessor to support multiple named instances.

It’s been said before but bears repeating, paraphrased – the PS2 may be in the twilight of its lifespan as a viable console platform system, but at this stage it seems to be home to some of its best games, graphically speaking.

Arthur and the Invisibles certainly fall into that category.

While the game itself treads the usual path of a platform adventure, filled with puzzles, the graphics of the game are wonderful. It creates an atmosphere that will delight gamers of all ages while closely following the style of the film. There are even movie cutscenes inserted into the game’s presentation to keep the association strong.
