blond problem (for me)

Hi all, Been writing a small application with php-gtk but I have some trouble getting the id of objects: I have 2 functions in my code, one to display a mainscreen and one to clear a list which is declared within the first function: function mainwindow(){ $window = &new GtkWindow(); .......... $scrolled_window = &new GtkScrolledWindow(); $scrolled_window->set_policy(GTK_POLICY_NEVER, GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS); //filling a list $mainBox->pack_start($scrolled_window, true, true, 0); } function clearlist() { global $list, $items; $list->clear_items(0,count($items)); } If I write the code for the mainscreen outside of the function it all works great. The list will get cleared. However, within a function I can't seem to make it work. I tried to declare the vars for the list object global too within the first function but it doesn't find the object: <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to a member function on a non-object in <b> Does anyone of you have a solution/pointer for me?
