function

Anon

My variables arnt transfering between functions, how do i do this? something like this?

test($variable1, variable2); ?

and do i put that when i call it, or when i create ut?

mmilano

when you use a function, the variables produced inside the function are not available globally.

function add($var1,$var2)
{
$var3=$var1+$var2;
return $var3;
}

now i could not access $var3 outside the function.

$new_var=add(2,3);

k.. here is my problem

function Transfer()
{
print"$to_dir";
}

//check if 'transfer' button has been pressed
if ($load == "Transfer") {

Transfer();

}else{

DisplayForm();

}

this comes from a form, now, if i put print"$to_dir"; instead of calling the transfer function, it works, but this way the variable doesnt transfer...

Global variables are global, but not to functions unless specifically implemented as global within the function (as your example shows).

If you need "global-ity" within functions, your include file could use the define() function instead. The define() function creates constants which are global throughout the entire lifecycle of your script:

define(DBUSUER,"foobar");
define(DBPASSWORD, "foobar");

etc....

Using this method, you won't need to use the global declaration inside each function.

Have fun

This will work for ya! Just use it within your function and it should set it as a global. That way you can use it later. If this helps great! But if not then don't fuss. Lata!
