Comment on Don’t Cross the Beams! Why Object-Based Database Connections Rock by Tyler (Chacha)

Frameworks are useful. But I prefer to build my own. It gives me more control over the different aspects. Plus, I can’t think of a better way to learn than by building something yourself.

I just use Active Records in CodeIgniter. You can download AR classes to be used without a framework

I’m putting forth the idea of not using Globals as a general rule. However, there are always times you will want to break rules. The key part of breaking rules is to know what problems might arise. In the case of globals, you get a script which is harder to track down where problems occur.

I agree with you for stating the general use of globals. Personally I try not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

Sometimes it helps to use globals, but not use them all the time. A good programmer knows when it’s best to use them. Look at WordPress code for example. They use them to help with their codex. Don’t use them with sensative data of course.
