access to variables from other modules

Hi everybody, I'm working on a new module whose functions operate on a file. I wonder how it would be best to open that file. 1. Use php3 fopen and pass the file identifier to each of the new functions $fp = fopen(...); new_function($fp, ...); fclose($fp); This requires to access the variable le_fp in my module. Is that OK? Or is it cleaner to 2. Create my own open and close functions for the new module? $fp = new_module_open(...); new_function($fp, ...); new_module_close($fp) Uwe -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
