Passing Variables to HTML

jdr0606

If have a file that has a variable $tmpCopyRight and calls a function - AdminTrailer().

The function AdminTrailer has a line
include "trailerdesc.php";

trailerdesc.php might simply look something like this:

<body>
<p>This is a the Copyright Description</p>
</body>

I want to be able to display the value of the variable $tmpCopyRight after the line "This is a the Copyright Description".

How do I pass and display the $tmpCopyRight variable in the trailerdesc.php file?

Thanks😕

Call the function with AdminTrailer($tmpCopyright);
The include file is in scope of the function - in other words the include file is parsed as if it was an integral part of the calling file.
See the manual on "Variable scope"
