Note Submitter: devciti@yahoo.com ---- I have some problems with functions. I want to create some kind of 'tell me the configuration function'. Like this: <?php function TellConfig(){ $header_file_to_use = "header.inc"; $footer_file_to_user = "footer.inc"; } //Wont Work! TellConfig(); include($header_file_to_use); echo "Body!"; include($footer_file_to_use); /* Is there a way to call a variable set by a function? As i dont know this is the way i am doing it */ $header_file_to_use = ""; $footer_file_to_use = ""; function TellConfig2(){ global $header_file_to_use, $footer_file_to_use; $header_file_to_use = "header.inc"; $footer_file_to_use = "footer.inc"; } TellConfig2(); include($header_file_to_use); echo "body 2!"; include($footer_file_to_use); // This works ?> Even i dont want to use a function for configuration vars this is a good example. :P
