You can use the global function to use variables in classes when included. This means you can have a file such as "MainSettings.php" (Similar to MediaWiki's localsettings) with DB info, etc. <?php require("MainSettings.php"); class Foo { function Bar() { global $testVariable; return $testVariable; } } ?> MainSettings.php: <?php $testVariable = "This works!"; ?> Without the global you would get a E_NOTICE saying that $testVariable is undefined. ---- Server IP: 213.229.106.14 Probable Submitter: 86.186.235.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99166 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99166 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99166 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
