Here is a nice problem. I have two scripts, one calling the other with via
an include. The script that is included contains a variable, a function and
a call to that function. The variable needs to be accessible to the
function, so I declare it having a global scope. Then I execute the
function, which should echo the value of the variable. Contrary to what I
expected, the variable isn't there.
The code of the 2 programs is:
script1.php
<?php
function blah()
{
include("script2.php");
}
blah();
?>
script2.php
<?php
$foo = "bar";
function blahblah()
{
global $foo;
echo $foo;
}
blahblah();
?>
I can't see anything wrong with the way I set this up, even more since a
call to script2.php does exactly what it's suppossed to do: echo the value.
What's going on here is beyond me. Anybody has a clue?
Kind regards, Maarten 6 1453

I can... you can't expect to include another function within blah();
To do it, use a class, and include your blahblah(); and just use blah();
to reference to it within your class::function();

Yes you can.
The problem is that by declaring $foo = "bar" in what intuitively looks
like the global scope within script2.php, it's actually being declared
in the scope of blah(), and therefore isn't a global variable, and
therefore can't be accessed within blahblah().
Change script2.php to:
<?php
global $foo;
$foo = "bar";
function blahblah()
{
global $foo;
echo $foo;
}
blahblah();
?>

Thank you for replying, but you are mistaking. This for example works fine,
even when the second function is included from an outside file.
function blah()
{
function blahblah()
{
echo "foo";
}
blahblah();
}
blah();

Yes, that's it! So, a variable declared inside a function isn't available
inside nested function even while you are calling it in (global). You'll
have to declare it global in the main function first. This can cause
problems though, as there might be a variable with the same name outside the
main function that you do not want to access. See what I mean? The solution
is obvious of course, but sometimes you just don't know what variables live
out there, do you?

Always explicitly pass required variables to functions.
