[SOLVED] variables outside of functions

[garry]

So I have a function to add the header to my site called add_header. This will add a file called header.php to the document

 

I have a menu in the header and I want to use an if ($variable == 'somepage') { change the id }

 

This would change the id of the menu so that the current page is a different color. The problem is, even if I add the $variable at the top of the page, it is not available within the function and I get an error.

 

Is there any way to fix this?

 

Thanks

Send the variable with the function.

 

EX:

function addHeader($title) {

  //add menu stuff here

}

 

Then when you are calling on the function just insert the info there.

 

EX:

addHeader("somepage")
