PHP - Why using "global" considered bad?
In PHP why is using `global` like in the example below [considered bad](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8488407/php-global-variable-scope-inside-a-class#comment-10502390)?
```
$a = 1;
class foo
{
public function bar()
{
global $a; // <-- Why is this considered bad?
}
}
```
I want a concrete example(s) of what can go wrong with this code.
