How can I get a variable to a file and to another file?

That depends on the variable's contents. Is it some static value you want to define and have available to all scripts? In that case, you could put the variable's definition into a PHP file that you [man]include/man/[man]require/man in other files.

If it's a unique value for each visitor (e.g. a username), you could use sessions or cookies.

Well it is more likely as this:

I have a mt_rand(); in one a file(call it filerandom1.php).

So I set that to a new int as:

$master_username = mt_rand(10000,50000);

How that I need the $master_username in another file(i.e: randomfile22.php) and I need them to be identical in both files. How can I do that? Since when I do the include(), I get all other information on that page. So specific I only need the $master_username's value.

Again, it depends on how you're using this value. Does each visitor to your website get a unique random value, or does the random value apply to all visitors to your site?

It's a master password, so only ONE person will see this. I believe I will terminate the $master_password after I have had it in the other file for its use.
