Variable Scope

[RaKKeR]

Hi,

Is there a way to make all variables declared outside a function available for the function without having to write a long list like: global $var1, $var2, ... ?
I need this for an error handling function which has to prematurely end the php script after including a template page which uses those global vars. If not, is there any other way to make life easier in this case?

Thx in advance,

RaKKeR

Yes, its called $GLOBALS e.g.

<?php
$myvar = "test out the globals";
print_r ($GLOBALS);
$fred=$GLOBALS["myvar"];
echo "fred is " . $fred;
?>

I've created a variable ($myvar) and set it to a value. I then print out the entire $GLOBALS (which has just about everything in). And then set $fred to the value of myvar but taken directly from the $GLOBALS array using myvar as the key name.
Hope this helps

My suggestion to you is to turn your error function into a class. Then you only have to declare your variables in the class once (constructor). In your scripts, you can include the class file, create a new error class, then call it whenever you're trapping errors in your code.
