declaring public variable

edpudol

Hello everybody!

Is it possible to declare a public variable in another PHP file then call it later the content of this variable.

If it is posible how?

Thanks

(I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I'll give it a shot..)
If you declare a variable in a script, you can use it (regardless of
whether or not it's in the same PHP file)

The only time you need to specifically do something to use it
is when you are using a function.
Then, what you have to do is this :

$somevar = 'Hello there';

function test() {
  global $somevar;
  echo $somevar;
}

hope it helps

sounds like your want to load a php file in a another php file and get something from it?

look up include()

What I want to do is like this.

For example when a visitor logon on my site I ask for his/her email address this email address will be store in varible, lets say $emailad this variable is found in first.php.

for a while the visitor open another php page in my site, let's say second.php. Is it posible that i can get the value of the $emailad variable from first.php.

Yes this is called sessions.

//first.php

<?php
session_start();

$_SESSION['emailad'] = "my@email.com";

?>

//second.php

<?php
session_start();

echo $_SESSION['emailad'];
?>
