Super Global doesn't work Super Globally

SumitGupta

Hi,

I just want toconfirm my problem...(May be i know the reason)

I have a PHP Include Script that contain all common function for a site.... It has the function for the Header and footer for HTML head tag and end of HTML page the fucntion are simple

function page_header()
{
include("header.php");
}

function page_footer()
{
include("footer.php");
}

This site function file is called from the Page I want. say for product page I include the site_fucntions.php (which has these header and footer fucntion) and than simply call the function when require

Now the file header.php and footer.php makes a call for the $POST and $COOKIE super global variable

But that doesn't seems to be working when put in the header.php

Though If i put that code in the site_function.php (out side teh function) it works.

Now it seems alright that funcion need the delcaration (with global keyword) for the variable or global variable but they need declaration of the SUPER Global variables as well????

And this what my question is... 😕

Any suggestions

So what is it doing instead? You haven't shown us the contents of header.php or footer.php, which is probably where the problem lies. Either there or there's something wrong with the way you're calling the functions - you haven't shown us that, either.

Hi,

The content of the Header.php is something like this

<?
$user=$_COOKIE['username'];
?>
<html>
<head>
 <title><?=$user?> is Welcomed on xyz.com</title>
</head>
<body>
 We welcome you on our site <?=$user?> 
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<?
include("left.php");
?>

and for the Footer it just has the closing tag of body and html

Not a big deal in the file and for problem the $user is always remain Undefine
And the $_COOKIE['username'] gives the Undefine index error

One more thing that I left out is that ..when i just copy paste the

$user=$_COOKIE['username'];

in the site fucntion it starts working (yes without defining the $user as global in the page_header() and page_footer fucntions

Any reason now..🙂

(I have test it on PHP 4.3.9/4.3.10 ) with global register On with sequence of EGPCS
