This should be a general landing page for thoughts on and debate about removing globals.

Should we refactor to remove all global variables and other couplings with global state ($_SESSION, $_REQUEST, singleton pattern, etc)? We can do this by:

• Encapsulting request in a request object
  • Instantiate master Horde object (e.g. $horde = new Horde($config);)
  • Instantiate application object (e.g. $app = new Turba($horde,$config);)
  • Page handling become method object (e.g. $page = new Turba_BrowsePage($app, $request); $page->execute();)
