Re: Scope of include

To answer his question though, variables not declared via the "global" keyword and not accessed via the super global variables ($GLOBALS, $_SESSION, etc) inherit the scope in which the include statement occurs. Therefore, if in the included file all you have is:

    $foo = 'foo';

Then it's scope is the function including the file.

It's important to have this clear in your head when dealing with included files, so I wrote an example that will hopefully demonstrate it for the OP...
