>&#13;    Many syntax constructs in PHP are implemented via referencing
    mechanisms, so everything told above about reference binding also
    apply to these constructs. Some constructs, like passing and
    returning by-reference, are mentioned above. Other constructs that
    use references are:
   </P
><DIV
CLASS="sect2"
><H2
CLASS="sect2"
><A
NAME="references.global"
></A
><TT
CLASS="literal"
>global</TT
> References</H2
><P
>&#13;     When you declare variable as <B
CLASS="command"
>global $var</B
> you
     are in fact creating reference to a global variable. That means,
     this is the same as:
     <DIV

    </P

>&#13;     That means, for example, that unsetting <TT
CLASS="varname"
>$var</TT
>
     won't unset global variable.
