PHP 4.0 Bug #8835 Updated: Include's & passing varibles on Win*

ID: 8835 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: AmaZed@charter.net Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: This makes no sense. Included files share the same scope as the script that is doing the including. So: $a = 1; include 'somefile.php'; If in somefile.php you do: echo $a you will see it prints 1. So passing variables to an included file is an inherent characteristic of PHP.

I am not sure if you consider this a 'bug' but, it would be nice to include & passing vars ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8835
