The ______ keyword is used in PHP to make a local variable accessible globally.

The global keyword in PHP is used to make a local variable accessible globally. By using the global keyword followed by the variable name within a function, you can access and modify the value of the variable globally, outside the function's local scope. This allows you to work with local variables in a wider scope. However, it is generally recommended to minimize the use of global variables for better code organization and maintainability.
