HELP... Global declaration.

Hi,

In my header.inc template, I declared:

<?php
global $INDEXTYPE;
?>

in my Registration form, I passed a value to my global variable:

<?php
$page_title = 'Welcome!';
include ('./header.inc');
$GLOBALS("INDEXTYPE")="AA";
?>

I got this error:

parse error, unexpected '=' in C:\web\Apds\Registration_form.php on line 6

This is line 6:
$GLOBALS("INDEXTYPE")="AA";


What is wrong with my code?

Hi,

You only have to declare a variable as global when you are inside of a function.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$page_title = 'Welcome!';
include ('./header.inc');
$INDEXTYPE = "AA";
?>

---

If you want to access it in header.inc, do like this:

PHP Code:

---

Registration_form.php

<?php
$page_title = 'Welcome!';
$INDEXTYPE = "AA";
include ('./header.inc');
?>

header.inc

<?php
echo $INDEXTYPE;
?>

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the info. I want to test the value of value of INDEXTYPE in my Process.php script.

<?php
if $INDEXTYPE=="AA")
{
Do something…
}
elseif $INDEXTYPE=="BB")
{
Do something…
}
?>

is this OK?

or should i use
if ($_GET['INDEXTYPE']=="AA")...

Hi,

You can use the first method if you include Process.php in Registration_form.php after you have defined $INDEXTYPE.

Yours, Erik.
