page inside include not calling varible

[leeming]

im totaly sure ive always been able to do this...
[code]
$var = 1;

include("file.php");

echo $var;
[/code]
where file.php...
[code]
echo 'var is: '.$var.' :inside include<BR>';
[/code]

where it should output

[quote]var is: 1 :inside include
1[/quote]


but the following code i did doesnt let me, (is there a setting in sum file that turns this on/off? because i've had trouble where the server admin has changed things on all sites instead of just one...)
[code]
include($site_link."/inc/functions.inc.php");

//...code between.. nothing to do with $page....

if(in_array("$page", $public_pages))
{
  include($site_link."/pub-".$page.".php");
    die("goo::$page::gooo");
}[/code]
functions.inc.php contains (i even commented every thing out apart form this line)
[code]
  print"goo::$page::gooo";[/code]

all i get from them is
[quote]
goo::::gooo
goo::main::gooo[/quote]

Are you sure that the statement

[code]print"goo::$page::gooo";[/code]

in the included file is NOT within a function? Because then $page would be a different variable (private to the function) from the one you set.

no no its not in a function.. i just put it one of the 1st include files on my page 2 test it my theory (which took a while y my code wasnt working)

its just a plain variable that works in the main page.. but as soon as its inside an include/require it stops existance....


heres another try.. (to check there is no mixing with values)
[code]
//main page
$leeming = "woot";

include($site_link."/inc/functions.inc.php");

die($leeming);




//include file

if($leeming)
{
  print"'leeming' is here<BR>";
}
elseif(isset($leeming))
{
  print"'leeming' is set<BR>";
}
else
{
  print"no to all the above<BR>";
}
[/code]

outputs,
[quote]
no to all the above
woot
[/quote]

humm i figgured it out with this code

[code]
$leeming = "woot";

include($site_link."/inc/functions.inc.php");
include("inc/functions.inc.php");
include "inc/functions.inc.php" ;

die($site_link);
[/code]

$site_link, is the full address... so it wasnt passing the variable
