I think it worthy of noting (for noobies such as myself): You can define access to a global variable before it is defined when defining a function as long as the variable is defined before the function is called. This had me baffled for a few hours til I tried it out...lol. Here's a quick example: Perfectly valid: ------------------------- function hello() { global $hi; echo $hi; } $hi = 'Hi There!'; // Var defined after function is defined hello(); ------------------------- I know most of the Gurus persay already knew this, but I didn't! :p This helps ;-) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31954 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31954 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31954
