Fw: [PHP] Friend of function??

I don't think there is a way to do pull a variable into the local scope of a function without passing it as a value to the function. But you can always do this.. myfunction() { global $myarray; //..use myarray..// unset $GLOBALS['myarray']; } You're in no danger this way. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anup" <anup_patel@rogers.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 3:54 PM Subject: [PHP] Friend of function?? > I want to use arrays (that are outside of a function) to be visible to a > function.
