[PHP] Variables loaded from a separate script are not defined within functions
- by Goro
Hello,
I use settings.php to store general settings for my application. When I load this settings file, I can use the variables defined in settings.php in the script itself, but not within any functions I define in it.
For example, in my class definition, myclass.php:
<?php
$preIP = dirname(__FILE__);
require_once( "preIP/settings.php" );
class MyClass {
...
public function foo() {
echo $variable_from_settings;
}
}
The code in the function foo() will not work (the variable will not be defined).
The settings.php file looks like this:
$variable_from_settings = "bar";
Thanks,
