$GLOBALS Or global
++++++++++++++++++

  Usually, PHP projects make a choice between the global keyword, and the $GLOBALS variable. Sometimes, the project has no recommendations. 

When your project use a vast majority of one of the convention, then the analyzer will report all remaining inconsistently cased constant.

.. code-block:: php
   
   <?php
   
   global $a, $b, $c, $d, $e, $f, $g, $h, $i, $j, $k, $l, $m;
   
   // This access is inconsistent with the previous usage
   $GLOBALS['a'] = 2;
   
   ?>
