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);}})

• InstantiateApplicationObjectRefactoring

• Page handling become method object (e.g. {{$page = new Turba_BrowsePage($app, $request); $page->execute();}})
