plugins does not hande $GLOBALS correctly

[mathiasdg]

see the code example below. If i run this on the vite dev server with this plugin, it prints null.
When i run this same code on my local apache server it prints the string as is should.

$tbd = 'date has yet to be set';

function formatDate(string $datum): string
{
    var_dump($GLOBALS['tbd']);

...
}

Is this a bug? Or is there another way to use PHP globals with Vite?
Is there a workaround?

Thanks a lot!
Love the plugin

Hi @mathiasdg,

interesting observation! In theory that should work as usual, but who knows if the configuration of PHPs build in dev-server is a little different from production or not...

A couple of questions:

1. Is the variable in the same file as the function?
2. Does it work with global $tbd; inside the function?

What I can say for sure, we have been explicitly setting the globals like:

$GLOBALS['tbd'] = 'date has yet to be set';

That does work for sure.
