[FX.php List] Populating a global field

[Chris Hansen]

Right.  Globals have always worked, but their contents can only be  
used for the current query.  Once the data comes back, the global is  
wiped, and future connections will have to reset the field.  As Dale  
says, if you need to store persistent information, use PHP sessions.
