From: Operating system: Linux x86_64 PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: Variables related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:definitions of global varaibles not working properly Description: ------------ hi, I would like to define few variables global so that I can use them in all functions - also if I include a php file with functions. actually I expect, that if I declare a variable outside the functions as global, that those variables are available inside the functions. Test script: --------------- global $var1; function funct1() { echo $var1; } include 'incl_file1'; incl_dile1: function funct2() { echo $var1; } Expected result: ---------------- should work without problem or notice that var1 is not defined... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51840&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51840&r=mysqlcfg
