Prob with Globals

[sonique]

Can some one help me out by explaining global variable and how to set them?

The reason you would declare something global is so you could use that variable from with a function without passing that variable, otherwise the variable is outside the scope of the function.

Example:

$var = 5;

function foo()
{
 echo $var; // this is a different $var than outside the function
} 

But if you put global in front of $var within the function, you are referencing the same variable as declared outside the function

$var = 5;

function foo()
{
global $var
 echo $var; // prints 5
}
