Simple Variable reference Question

[milesperhour1086]

When creating a page in PHP, if I have the following:

[code]
    php:$thisVar = $myArray[2];
    ..
    ..
    ..
    ..
    $myArray = array(1,43,64,44);
    ?>
[/code]


Will thisVar be assigned 64 or will it be null because when we assigned thisVar, myArray did not exist yet?? I am trying to work with dreamWeaver templates and php and this is one of the things I need to figure out but I Don't have webspace to test it out on yet. Thanks

it'll be null if you do it in this order. scripting languages do everything in line order, the only exceptions being things such as functions, loops (while, for, foreach, etc). your opening php tag must be <?php too, not php:
