note 72132 added to language.variables.scope

Just an important note: When you call a function in your script, the function has its own independent variable set and will ignore any variables set outside the function. <?php $a = 1; function foo() { echo $a; } foo(); // shows nothing ?> Make sure to import all the variables needed in the function declaration. <?php $a = 1; function foo($a) { echo $a; } foo($a); // shows 1 ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.37.54.42 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72132 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72132 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72132 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
