Hi guys, I have a function inside which I set alocal variable to store a result. Can I access this variable in another function? if yes then how? function tbl1($entrytitle, $entrytext) { global $conn; $result= mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl1(tbl1_id, title, text) VALUES('NULL', '$entrytitle', '$entrytext')", $conn); $tbl_id=mysql_insert_id($conn);// this is the local variable I'm setting to get the last auto increment id } Now I wish to access that variable in another function thus: function tbl2($name, $entrytitle, $entrytext) { global $conn; $result =mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl2(tbl1_id, name, title, text) VALUES('$tbl1_id', '$name', '$entrytitle', '$entrytext' )", $Conn); } Or is there a better way to store the variable? Thanks in advance.
