globally avaialable variables

[sfullman]

Hi There,

I would like to configure PHP to store certain variables that it doesn't natively have like:

$FUNCTION_ROOT = "/home/mysite/php/functions/";

Is there any way to set these in the php.ini file or somewhere else?

Thank you. A long time ago when I was using ASP there was a globals.asa file and also you could use application variables to do something like this.

Just wondering.. isn't it much more easier to store the variables in a common file, like the file where you store all the connection details, and then include the file in all the pages??

Yes, but if this connection info is complex (this is a huge site), it would be nice to not include large files. Anyway, I am curious if it can be done, think it will add some functionality overall

The connection info?

[sfullman]

connection info (quite a few different connections with different privileges), function libraries, arrays of logical process, lotsa stuff. I just figured if I have some variables listed implicitly, it will cut down on coding work.
