[RESOLVED] Using variables outside of FUNCTION

[dcjones]

Hi all,

I have read just about all the posts concerning using variable outside of a FUNCTION and I am at a brick wall.

I have the following script which reads the content of an XML file into variables within the FUNCTION.

I need to use the variable later on in the script, how can I do this.

 require("MagicParser.php");

 function myRecordHandler($record)
  {
$AODBUniqueID = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/AODBUNIQUEID']; 
 $FIDSFlightActive = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/CONTROL/FIDSFLIGHTACTIVE'];
$CarrierCode = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/FLIGHTREFERENCE/CARRIERCODE']; 
$FlightNumber = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/FLIGHTREFERENCE/FLIGHTNUMBER']; 
$FlightSuffix = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/FLIGHTREFERENCE/FLIGHTSUFFIX']; 
$ArrivalOrDeparture = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/FLIGHTREFERENCE/ARRIVALORDEPARTURE'];
$FlightSuffix = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/FLIGHTREFERENCE/FLIGHTSUFFIX']; 
$TerminalCode = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/AIRPORT/TERMINALCODE'];
$GateNumber = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/AIRPORT/GATENUMBER'];
$IATALocationCode = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PORTSOFCALL/PORTOFCALL/IATALOCATIONCODE'];
$PublicLocationName = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PORTSOFCALL/PORTOFCALL/PUBLICLOCATIONNAME'];
$ScheduledDateTime = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/TIMES/SCHEDULEDDATETIME'];
$EstimatedDateTime = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/TIMES/ESTIMATEDDDATETIME']; 
$StatusMessageText0 = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/STATUSMESSAGES/STATUSMESSAGE/STATUSMESSAGETEXT'];
$StatusMessageText1 = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/STATUSMESSAGES/STATUSMESSAGE/STATUSMESSAGETEXT@1']; 
$StatusMessageText2 = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/STATUSMESSAGES/STATUSMESSAGE/STATUSMESSAGETEXT@2'];
$StatusMessageText3 = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/STATUSMESSAGES/STATUSMESSAGE/STATUSMESSAGETEXT@3'];
$StatusMessageText4 = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/STATUSMESSAGES/STATUSMESSAGE/STATUSMESSAGETEXT@4'];
$StatusMessageText5 = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/PUBLIC/STATUSMESSAGES/STATUSMESSAGE/STATUSMESSAGETEXT@5'];
$StandAllocations = $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/STANDALLOCATIONS/STAND'];
 print $AODBUniqueID;

}
 $result = MagicParser_parse("flightdata.xml","myRecordHandler","xml|ENVELOPE/");

 if (!$result)
 { 
 print MagicParser_getErrorMessage();
 }

print $AODBUniqueID;

You're setting all those local variables and you only return one of them.
Return an array with all of them in it.

function myRecordHandler($record)
  {
return array(
    'AODBUniqueID' => $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/IDENTIFICATION/AODBUNIQUEID'],
    'FIDSFlightActive' => $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/CONTROL/FIDSFLIGHTACTIVE'],
//....
    'StandAllocations' => $record['BODY/AFDSFLIGHTDATA/STANDALLOCATIONS/STAND'],
);

} 

And calling the function at some point would help.
