Echo a var that is in a function, that has been defined in another function?

[longree]

Can anybody tell me how I would echo $test?
Inother words, how can I global test out of test()?

[code]<?php

  test();
  testtwo();
 
   function test()
  {
    $test = "Hello this test is working!";
  }

   function testtwo()
  { extract($GLOBALS);
                 echo"$test";
  }

?>[/code]

Take the inverted commas out for a start.

[longree]

You and I both know that wouldn't make a difference in this case...

[ScottRiley]

Don't you have to define functions before you call them?

[longree]

Either way works...

http://php.net/functions
[quote]In PHP 3, functions must be defined before they are referenced. No such requirement exists since PHP 4. Except when a function is conditionally defined such as shown in the two examples below. [/quote]

Don't tell me you still use PHP 3 :o???

No lol, I'm very inexperienced with PHP (approaching 2 weeks, tbh), but in most languages I've learned that is the case.

Oh right, - PHP is very useful to know... - It's just nown and then I come up with some new problems...

try[code]<?php
$test='Bla, bla';
echo "1st call testtwo:\n";
testtwo();
echo "\n-------------\n2nd call testtwo:\n";
test();
testtwo();
function test(){
global $test;
$test = "Hello this test is working!";
}
function testtwo(){
global $test;
echo"$test";
}
?>[/code]

I agree with that, although I've only been learning it a very short while, I'm already amazed by some of the things it can do, I'm really glad I'm learning it.

arrrr, I didn't know global was an input AND an output function...

Thanks for that!


Good luck with php scott, cya around!
