RE: [PHP] include, include_once bug or feature ?

I think that since you are including a file into a function - the vars become local so they only exist when the function is running. Therefore, a call to get_defined_vars will not show them since the vars do not exist in the global scope. In fact, during the call to get_defined_vars, the included vars do not exist at all. This is a feature, not a bug.

Hello! I have a trouble :( When I try this: --[index.php]-- <?php function f($action) { switch($action){ case 'one': include_once('M/one.php'); break; } } f('one'); ?> -------------- --[M/one.php]-- <?php print "<pre>\n"; print_r(get_defined_vars()); print "</pre>\n"; ?> ------ At output i'll gets nothing :( No any global variables. But, at index.php I get it all. If I move include() to global scope, all ok. It's feature, or bug ? -- Pavel Plesov Simpage support -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
