Or perhaps http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php for an
introduction to PHP globals and how they work. There seem to be a few areas
of the PHP language that you don't yet understand fully, so I would
recommend looking in the PHP manual first rather than trying to figure it
out from the MediaWiki code-base, which (let's be honest) is not necessarily
the ideal introduction to PHP... :-)
