Includes/Variable Scope

[nstevens]

hello... quick problem that's got me stuck.

I've got some .php function files that i'm including in my form page.
One - sys_info.php defines the arrays that I use all over the site.

ex:
<?PHP

$semesters = array("08" => "Fall",
"01" => "Spring", "06" => "Summer");

Seems you forgot to tell us what the problem is..

At a guess, your solution is to use include_once and sprinkle it liberally throughout your code. Include once does just that, so you don't need to worry if you've already loaded it, it wont load twice. Your worry about variable scope just goes away: the function is not loaded twice so you wont get variable naming and scope conflicts.
