Hi,

I just started using the FUDApi and I ran to a small problem. It seems that FUDApi uses a bunch of global variables which are defined in GLOBALS.php and which should be included before using the FUDApi.

The GLOBALS.php expects to be run in global scope because it does not use either global keyword or $GLOBALS array while defining its variables. In other words, GLOBAL.php uses format:

$FUD_OPT_1 = 1737422013;

instead of for example

$GLOBALS['FUD_OPT_1'] = 1737422013;

The problem comes when I try to include the GLOBALS.php from inside a framework, such as CodeIgniter. In these cases my code is already inside a framework class or a method and I cannot go out of it. This means if I include the GLOBALS.php, the variables inside it are no longer global scoped but inside the scope of my framework class/method.

This causes FUDApi to crash with error message like "undefined index 'FUD_OPT_1'. The problem can be solved by modifying the GLOBALS.php to use $GLOBALS array.
