Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
when you include a file within a function/method , the global code is
in the function/method scope.
therefore $foo is in the function scope... (not global)..
functions/classes/methods you define in there however are defined
globaly..

Description:
------------
This is related to Bug #26173 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26173)
but the reproduce code was wrong.
I am using Windows XP Home and Apache 2.0.47 with PHP beta 2.
This bug is related to function/class/global scopes.
Note that if you merge foo.php and bar.php (foo.php and right after
that bar.php) (ie. without the include_once), this will work as
expected!
I haven't tested this with include but I suspect it would have the same
problem.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// foo.php
<?php
class TestOne {
function __construct() { include_once 'bar.php'; }
}
$TestOne = new TestOne();
?>
// bar.php
<?php
// uncommenting this makes it work
// global $foo;
$foo = 'bar';
// uncommenting this does nothing
// global $foo;
function TestTwo() {
global $foo; echo $foo;
}
Tesl'><();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
bar
Actual result:
--------------
No output
