trq Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 [quote]please tell me how to do it[/quote]The only way is to include the footer before the header. PHP runs from top down, you will need to rethink your logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lice200 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Put the $vars in index.php instead of each file then just echo it in header and footer. Then include index.php; in footer and header.php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Well... chances are you're going to run your footer function AFTER your header function, so your point is moot anyways. You're going to have to run the code for the footer in both locations and just not do the display part in the header for the footer.... or just run the code in the header... the variable will still be available for the footer when you include it.

trq Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 [quote]can any one explain me the logic which i can use[/quote]You cannot use variables before they are difined. However, if you wrap your variable within a function, you can call this function before its defined. eg;[code]<?php $foo = bar(); echo $foo; function bar() { return "this is foo"; }?>[/code]This is of course a poor way of getting around your problem however. Ideally you need to restructure your entire logic so that it runs from top -> bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
