RE: [PHP] help with PHP global array

2002-02-07 Thread Wee Chua 

Hi all,
I have tried:
global $myArray[]
 
and it gives me an error 'the array expects semi-colon or comma'. Any helps
would be appreciated!
 
Thanks,
Wee

Hi all, 
How can I declare a global array? Can I do this: 
$global myArray[] 

would I find out it is an array when I use it in other places? 

Thanks, 
Wee

All variables in PHP are local to the scope in which it is defined. You 
cannot declare a variable as global (as such). To use a global variable:


?

  $doodah = 10;
  test_global();

  function test_global() {
global $doodah;
echo(Doodah should be ten: $doodah);
  }

?


See manual for details.

This is true.  But I believe that the original question was actually
the other way around...  Make a local variable into a global one.
The way to do that is this:

?

myFunc() {
  $myFuncLocalVar = Hello!;

  echo $myFuncLocalVar;

  $GLOBALS[myFuncLocalVar] = $myFuncLocalVar;

}

myFunc();
echo $myFuncLocalVar;

?
