Upgraded to 5.3; setting the value of a variable with include file

[mrherman]

Upgraded to 5.3, so I'm trying to make sure that all vars are set.  To do this, I have an "include" file that sets the value of a bunch of vars to 0 (zero).

 

Then I have another include file that echos the values of the, so far, unchanged variables.  I would expect the output to be that each var would be equal to 0.

 

But, no.  I get a ton of error messages that the vars are undefined.  So, does include file "B" know what include file "A" did?

 

Thanks.

Post your code that demonstrates the problem, showing the opening php tag being used in each file.

Well, since you seem to suggest that it should be working, I wrote a simple script:

 

MAIN.PHP

<?php
include "include_1.php" ;
include "include_2.php" ;
?>

 

INCLUDE_1.PHP

<?php
echo "you are at include_1.php" . "<br />;
$mycolor = "blue" ;
?>

 

INCLUDE_2.PHP

<?php
echo "you are at include_2.php" . "<br />"  ;
echo "mycolor = " . $mycolor ;
?>

 

...and the output is:

you are at include_1.php

you are at include_2.php

mycolor = blue

 

So, it does work and the issue is my crappy code.  Well, let me look further before I give completely up.

 

Thanks!

Isolated my problem.  The line invoking the include file that reset all the variables was located in the wrong place.  Hence, the unset variables.

 

I gotta go.
