how to use gobal variables in functions?

i tried to use $GLOBALS["xyz[1]" to use the global variable in a function, but the script still stores the data in local variables. why to hell?

try to define the variable like this;

$GLOBAL["xyz"] = array('1','2','3');

...for example!

or

global $xyz = array(...); //etc

You can then access the variable in both examples using $XYZ.
