Global Vars with included files

[chilling]

I am having a problem passing variables to included files what I am doing wrong:
I have greated four files:
\test\filea.php
\test\fileb.php
\test\filec.php
\test\data\filec.php
\test\data\filedata.php

I can pass data read from \test\data\filedata.php to \test\filec.php but not to \test\data\filec.php here follows the files (filec.php is the same in both cases just in different places):

<?php
#File A
global $a, $b, $c;

include './data/filedata.php';

$d = $a . $b . '/fileb.php';

echo "<br>File A";
echo "<br> Value A: $a";
echo "<br> Value B: $b";
echo "<br> Value C: $c";
echo "<br> Value D: $d";

echo "<br><br><b>Include fileb from File A local</b>";
include ('./fileb.php');

$d = $a . $b . $c . '/filec.php';

echo "<br><br><b>Include filec from File A @ $d</b>";
include ($d);

?>

<?php
#File B
global $a, $b, $c;

$d= $a . $b . $c . '/filec.php';

echo "<br><br>File B";
echo "<br> Value A: $a";
echo "<br> Value B: $b";
echo "<br> Value C: $c";
echo "<br> Value D: $d";

echo "<br><br><b>Include filec from File B local</b>";
include ('./filec.php');

echo "<br><br><b>Include filec from File B @ $d</b>";
include ($d);

?>

<?php
#File C
global $a, $b, $c, $d ;

echo "<br><br>File C";
echo "<br> Value A: $a";
echo "<br> Value B: $b";
echo "<br> Value C: $c";
echo "<br> Value D: $d";

?>

<?php
#File C
global $a, $b, $c;

$a="http://www.ourdomain.com";
$b="/test";
$c="/data";

?>

The result are:

File A
Value A: http://www.ourdomain.com
Value B: /test
Value C: /data
Value D: http://www.ourdomain.com/test/fileb.php

Include fileb from File A local

File B
Value A: http://www.ourdomain.com
Value B: /test
Value C: /data
Value D: http://www.ourdomain.com/test/data/filec.php

Include filec from File B local

File C
Value A: http://www.ourdomain.com
Value B: /test
Value C: /data
Value D: http://www.ourdomain.com/test/data/filec.php

Include filec from File B @ http://www.ourdomain.com/test/data/filec.php

File C
Value A:
Value B:
Value C:
Value D:

Include filec from File A @ http://www.ourdomain.com/test/data/filec.php

File C
Value A:
Value B:
Value C:
Value D:

I think you need to go back to the manual and find out what [man]global[/man] is used for.

As for passing variables to included files ... well, that's covered on the [man]include[/man] page. For example, "When a file is included, the code it contains inherits the variable scope of the line on which the include occurs."

But looking at your code, there's a Catch-22. To get values for $a, $b and $c you have to include filec.php. But to include filec.php you first need values for $a, $b and $c.
