Include Problem

[ktalebian]

Hi there,

for some reason, I am having problem accessing variables and functions that are in a file that is included in another:

 

fun.php
<?php
function Name()
{
   // doing stuff
   return $someVariable;
}
$string = 'something';

echo "This string says $string";
?>

page.php
<?php
include 'fun.php';
echo $string;
$test = Name();
?>

 

 

Now, when I run the code above, i don't get anything from echo $string. But, the echo "This string says $string" is displayed. I also get an Fatal error saying that the function I am referring to is not defined.

Why??

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

I tried it on my server and the code is working fine.

But actually your function is doing nothing, the output is outside the function

Hi there,

I know the function is not doing anything, i just wrote it as an example.

 

I have WAMP installed on my PC (i want to finish the website before I upload it to the server). Could it be that some sort of a configuration is not setup correctly? Cause I am also getting problems with using SESSIONS!

 

Thanks!

On the page with the error modify your code to just this.

 

<?php
include ('fun.php');
?>

Do not echo or assign variables.

But I need to use the variables! THere is no point of just including it if I cannot use it!
