global Arrays

[loveitandhateit]

How do I make Arrays global?
Let's say:

function someFunction() { 
<FORM ACTION="action.php" METHOD="POST"> 
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME=Array[StudentName]> 
</FORM> 
} 

function someOtherFunction() { 
That will in some way make use of Array[StudentName] 
}

How do I make the Array[StudentName] global?

To answer your question, use the global keyword.

function someOtherFunction()
{
  global $StudentNames;
  /* Use the student name information */
}
$StudentNames = $_POST['StudentNames'];

I'll assume you know that your someFunction() has many problems.

hey dude, well all i can say is that it would probably be better if u assigned the array position to a variable and then just put your

register_globals = On

in your php.ini file, dont see why that shouldnt work

actually, even simpler might be to use the $_POST['StudentNames'] array within the function directly.
