Anyway to pass variables down to an include()

[aalmakto]

Hey folks,

I was wondering if there is anyway to pass down a variable to an include.

For example I have 2 pages:

-page1.php
-page2.php

page1.php has a bunch of variables. page1.php also has:

include(page2.php);

My question is, can page2.php access any of the variables from page1.php? I tried using Sessions but no success.

your thoughts would be greatly appreciated

They should already exist.

page1.php
[code=php]
<?php
$my_variable = __file__;
include("page2.php");
?>
[/php]

page2.php

<?php
echo $my_variable;
?>

Use a global variable

[PHP]
global $rawr;
$rawr = 1;
[/PHP]
When you access $rawr it will display as 1 on any page included after it was declared.

Edit
Just read that you tried to use sessions. You can do that but you need to make sure you do a
[php]
session_start();
[/php]
at the top of the first page.

Thanks guys,
The global variable worked :)
