Basic php question - variables

deurwaarder

it makes me sad that i can't solve this, but i just can't seem to find the info i need. tried stuff, but doesn't work.

i got a php doc called: stats.php with these vars in it, nothing more is in it >

<php?
$stat1="0";
$stat2="50";
?>

then, i wan't to display those vars in some html doc. ill use the example below:

you have got $stat1 balls but you still got $stat2 beevers!

i want the html doc to go get the stat vars in "stats.php". untill now i got:

<?php		
 		include('stats.php');
			echo "you have got " . $stat1 . " balls but you still got " . $stat2 . " beevers!";
?>

but Zend tells me:
Global variable $stat1 was used before it was defined (line 3)
Global variable $stat2 was used before it was defined (line 3)

i will prolly hit myself on the head when this is solved. any help is welcome, thanks.

btw: hello to all.

u'd think that would work.... try putting

global $stat1,$stat2;

above ur variables...

Your opening PHP tag on stats.php is: "<php?" but it should be: "<?php"

don't know how that got that way, but im my original document it's done the right way.

nothing =(

i understand 0 about it now. could someone make me a basic example: 2 vars in a php doc, and those vars show up in a other php/html doc? then upload those 2 files in a zip as atachment. ofcourse, if it's not to much work. thanks in advance.

You have two files, stats.php and another one. Does the second file that you are using to include the stats.php into have an .html file extension or a .php file extension?

hey, i got it working =D , still with the zend message thoug. i forgot to apply the changes in my php version because i tried html and php to test.

but in the end i want to have it in html, this code:

<?php		
 		include('stats.php');
			echo "you have got " .$stat1. " balls but you still got " .$stat2. " beevers!";
?>

it doesn't work in html yet. even when i included the "include" code between the head tags. any ideas?

Your web server needs to be configured to expect PHP in your .html files. By defauklt it isn't as this makes for extra work for the server.

well to saving me arsing with my host, because they would have to change the settings right, i just saved it as index.php instead of html. works like a charm.

alls is swell now =D, thanks for all the help ppl.
