Sam Masiello System Analyst Chek.Com (716) 853-1362 x289 smasiello@chekinc.com Hi, I have troubles using previously defined globals in a require()ed file exemple:

-----main file------------ <? require("globals.php3"); require("IB_fcts.php3"); //valid script follows .. ?> ----globals.php3------- <? $gsp="/usr/interbase/bases/gsp.gdb"; ?> ----IB_fcts.php3------ <? $conn=ibase_connect($gsp,$user_id,$user_pwd); // $user_id and $user_pwd are passed to the main file trought the http // request (http://path/main.php3?user_id="login"&user_pwd="kryptedpass") //neither of these 3 globals have a value in IB_fcts.php3 . function my_fct() { global $user_id; echo $user_id; // no output .. } ?> I would be grateful to anyone who could help .. thx. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
