3/20    I know register globals in PHP are bad, but is there some lazy
        programmer advantage to them?
        \_ They let you be lazy.  But it's really not worth it.  Just use
           something like my args() function:
           http://bushong.net/dave/sw/files/args.php.txt
           So just at the top of a script you say:
           args('foo', 'bar[]', 'baz!');
           And now you've got a string $foo, array $bar, and required
           string $baz out of a query string like ?foo=42&bar[]=69&baz=18
