Meanings
-
(in the PHP programming language) Any of a set of special predefined variables that can be accessed at any point in a program without the need to be explicitly declared as global.
These superglobals contain data that is mostly related to requests, but they also contain some server information and running PHP script file information as well. The most frequently used superglobals are the $_SERVER, $_SESSION, $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_FILES variables.
