>&#13;    While handling of global variables had the focus on to be easy in
    PHP 3 and early versions of PHP 4, the focus has changed to be more
    secure. While in PHP 3 the following example worked fine, in PHP 4 it
    has to be unset($GLOBALS["id"]);. This is only one issue of global
    variable handling. You should always have used $GLOBALS, with
    newer versions of PHP 4 you are forced to do so in most cases.
