variable scope

[Destramic]

is there a way of having set variables for a specific include?...maybe be easier for me to explain via code

<?php

$bee = 'yes';

include_one "a.php";
include_one "b.php"; // only b.php can grab $bee var
?>

im wondering if I can only pass a var to b.php without a.php being able to use the var also?

 

thanks guys

You could move the variable declaration after the first include. That way only b.php can access the variable.

Something I've used many times is an include function.

function include_clean(/* $file, array $args */) {
	if (func_num_args() > 1) {
		extract(func_get_arg(1));
	}
	return include func_get_arg(0);
}

include_clean("a.php");
include_clean("b.php", array("bee" => $bee));

@requinix thanks, that will work quite nicely
