PHP and variables help!!

Hi

If I have a PHP page called page1.php thats sets a variable, ie

$myvariable=1;

and i have a PHP page call page2.php that has an include(page1.php);

will it be able to know the value of the variable that is created in the other page?

If not is there a way i can get it to do this?

thanks
steve

u can have the value of page1.php in page2.php, if u have properly included the file.
otherwise u can do it by declaring any variable as Global

kool how do you declare as a global?

<? global $myvariable1; ?> :thumbsup:

the_include.php

<?php
echo "this is the include";
$variable='include';
?>


the_page.php

<?php
echo "The main page";
$variable="main_page";
include 'the_include.php';
echo '$variable='.$variable;
?>

will give:

main_page
this is the include
$variable=include
