globalizing any variable

[TimTimTimma]

Is there a way I can make a variable that is NOT created in a function, make it global or something and then useable in ALL functions without having to always globalize it in every function?

I tried

global $var; 

and that didnt work, I even tried

function global(){
 global $var; 
}

but that didnt work either..I hav searched all over php.net for a function or something that might help me but to no success :-(

try this

myvariable.php

<? $var='first hello';?>

myfunction.php
<?
function testglobal()

{
echo $GLOBALS[var];
}
?>

If the value isn't going to change from its first definition you could always use [man]define[/man]. You can even define within functions or if blocks so it doesn't have to be completely fixed every time the script is run.

define('SYNC_TIME', time());
