一個包含了全部變量的全局組合數組。變量的名字就是數組的鍵。

?php
function test() {
  $foo = "local variable";
  echo '$foo in global scope: ' . $GLOBALS["foo"] . "\n";
  echo '$foo in current scope: ' . $foo . "\n";
}
$foo = "Example content";
test();
?>
以上例程的輸出類似于：
$foo in global scope: Example content
$foo in current scope: local variable

?PHP
echo "pre>";
var_dump($_SERVER);
