How can i Include an array from another php file?

[Jarid]

Here is a section of php file A

include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/PhpfileB.php')
$VALID_RATING_IDS = $Ratethese

 

Here is all of php file B

$Ratethese = "array("1", "2",);"

 

 

I need the var $VALID_RATING_IDS to = $Ratethese from file B

 

I am trying to include an array from php file B in php file A. Is this possible? How can i accomplish this?

Once you included file B into file A, both of them are 'joined' together. Php will treat it like one big file.

 

So yes, you should be able to just call upon the array in file B.

I think you'll need to include:

 

global $Ratethese;

 

in your first file before you assign.  Or maybe not, who knows, I've never been good at encapsulation and scope.

PhP File A

include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/PhpFileB.php');
global $Ratethese;
$VALID_RATING_IDS = $RATETHESE;

 

Php File B

$RATETHESE = "array("1", "2");"

 

For some reason it is printing the array on the page, and the array is not being used to run the script. Did i do anything wrong?
