where are the variables?

[zurron]

I know that in $HTTP_POST_VARS AND $_POST, I can find globals variables that I use on html code.
But I am using a variable that is not from html code and i want use it in other script.
So, what can I do?

this is a part of my code

 <SELECT NAME="se_insert_into_db" SIZE="5"> 
<?php
   $content = fopen('data.txt','r');
   $cont=0;
    global $student_list; // it is the variable that i want use on other script
   while( $student = fscanf($content,"%s\t%s\t%s\n")){
       list($last,$name,$code)=$student;
          echo '<OPTION VALUE="'.$code.'">'.$name.' '.$last.'</OPTION>';
          $student_list=array_fill($cont,1,$code);
          $cont++;

  }//while
?>
 </SELECT><BR><BR>


any suggestion?

thanks
