variables

[daniel_eastley]

I've got a php page that I include in everypage on my site, its got variables declared with values at the top, and then functions i use, after including the page into my sites pages, when I use the functions the variables dont work, as in they are blank. How do i set them so they work within the functions aswell. do i declare them global or something? bearing in mind - they are all used in nearly all the functions.


cheers

Hi!

function doSomething($var1, $var2)
{
   global $var1, $var2; // or the names of other variables from outside the function itself
}

this could bring up a discussion, but globalizing might not be such a good idea...

better is to call the function with the vars as parameters

function_name($var, $var, $var,...)

I think the same

I read that topic in the Advanced section. There was quite some discussion going on.

However, I tend to use global nonetheless.
