output buffering and variable scope

[antun]

Any idea why variables assigned before output buffering get lost:

$myVar = 'hello';
ob_start();
require $file;
$fp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
print $myVar;

...doesn't print hello.

Thanks,

Antun

Er, works for me...

Is there a $myVar in the included file?

I tried flush() just before ob_start(), but to no avail. It just doesn't work for me.

Basically the purpose of running output buffering is because the $file is a php file that gets parsed (and executes), and is then assigned (as a string) to $fp.

That's why I'm doing it this way.

Nope.
