picking up external variable inside a function

[edeltatc2]

I have a script that I use in an include() so that each page has access that those variables. Everything was working fine until I tried to place those variables in a function. I get no error but I cannot access those variables from the include() I.E.

This example works

//script that defines $num
include('numbers.php');

print "$num";

This example does not work

//script that defines $num
include('numbers.php');

function print_numbers() {

print "$num";

}

Accept $num as an argument to the function, then use $num with the function; you could also declare $num global in the function.
