Re: included file var scope

In index.php rather than declaring vars like so... $var = 'value'; ...declare them in the $GLOBALS array like so... $GLOBALS['var'] = 'value'; $var is then in the global scope regardless of where it was set. -Stut

That would work. However I'm looking for a more generic solution, independent of the system that is being included. So basically I want to be able to include a file in my function while stepping out of the context of the function itself.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you're saying you want to include a file from inside a function but for all parts of it to behave as if it were being included at the global scope then I don't believe there's a way to do it. Maybe it would be better if you tell us exactly what you're trying to achieve. I don't really see why my solution above would not work so I probably don't fully understand what you're trying to do. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
