can anyone tell me why this doesn't work??
assuming I have these three files:
settings.php is:
<?php $bar="someval"; ?>
page.php is:
<?php
require("settings.php");
echo "$bar from page.php"; //this works!!!
include "function.php";
?>
function.php is:
<?php
function foo{
global $bar;
echo "$bar from foo"; //this does not work!!!
}
foo();
?>
for some reason the $bar in function foo() doesn't have a value... :(
calling page.php only returns the $bar from page.php
thanks in advance!
