Um...I think you could just use "global". As in:
global $domain, $tld, $firstname, $lastname, $userid;
Once a variable is declared global, any change to that variable inside the
function is reflected outside of the function.
So:
function before_after ()
{
global $var;
echo $var . "<BR>";
$var = "After";
echo $var . "<BR>";
}
$var = "Before";
echo $var . "<BR>";
before_after();
echo $var . "<BR>";
Hey, it is PHP. It's supposed to be simple ;)
Unless of course I'm wrong in this untested example, in which PHP was
designed to make you suffer agonizing pain and terror that strikes to the
very depth of your soul.
Or not.
Because it does work.
But there is one odd behavior I noticed.
If you change a variable inside a function, then declare it global,
declaring it global reverts it's value to what it was before the function
adjusted it (when global is inside the function, that is).
But if you first declare it global THEN change the value, it works as above.
Kinda neet, I thought.
