[SOLVED] Variables inside class

[PHPTOM]

Hi all,

Ok I have a language file and a class.

Basically this is the class file:

<?PHP
include "language file";
class Layout{
function Top(){
...
function Bottom(){
..
}
}
?>

 

If I go to echo the $language variable, it doesn't display.

 

How can I use variables from outside of the function/class in the function?

so

function Top(){
echo $language['....'];
}

 

Thanks

Pass them to the function:

 

<?php
include "language file";

class Layout {
    function Top(){}

    function Bottom($language) {
        echo $language;
    }
}

$layout = new Layout();
$layout->Bottom($language);
?>

No basically I have an external language file. It is a big array of translations. I want to echo an array, so this is a better explanation:

language.php:

<?PHP
$language = array("hi" => "bonjour");
?>
[/plhp]

functions.php:
[code=php:0]
<?PHP
include "language.php";
class Layout{
function Top(){
echo $language['hi'];
}
}
?>

 

However it doesnt actually echo this. It is not echoing anything.

How can I do this?

$language = array("hi" => "bonjour");

 

functions.php:

include "language.php";
class Layout{
    function Top(){
        global $language;
        echo $language['hi'];
    }
}
?>
