Hi, i have a function, that creates the code for a HTML table. Within that function i have a variable, called $title. This contains text, which is declared on each page, that is shown in the table, i have put

PHP Code:

 global $title; 

in the function, but it doesnt show.

This function is used for blocks for a menu, each block has its own file, which is included, and within the file, is the declaration for the variable.

Heres the code for the function

PHP Code:

 function block_open() { 

global $title; 

        echo "<table align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#000000\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"100%\">"; 

        echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#009999\">"; 

        echo "<td class=\"content-menu-cat\" bgcolor=\"#008080\"><span class=\"content-menu-cat\"><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" color=\"#FFFFFF\"><img src=\"images/icon.gif\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" />"; 

        echo $title; 

        echo "</font></span></td>"; 

        echo "</tr>"; 

        echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">"; 

        echo "<td>"; 

                       } 

             

            

//close table                       

function block_close() { 

        echo "</td>"; 

        echo "</tr>"; 

        echo "</table>"; 

        echo "<table><tr><td></td></tr></table>"; 

                       } 

Then a typical block file looks like this

PHP Code:

 $title = 'Navigation'; 

block_open(); 





block_close(); 

But the $title doesnt show!!

Here is how to do that.

global.php

<?php
global $my_var;

$my_var = "<br>Hi There";
?>

f1.php
<?php
function f1(){
global $my_var;
echo "<br>=====";
}

?>


f2.php
<?php
function f2(){
global $my_var;
echo $my_var;
echo "<br>=====";
}
?>

index.php (the execution script)
<?php
include_once("global.php");
include_once("f1.php");
include_once("f2.php");

f1();
f2();
// change the value of the variable
$my_var = "Change after f2";
f1();
f2();

?>
