1: Globals are bad...m'kay. You should never use globals. If your function needs a variable, you should pass it in. There are exceptions to this rule but it's not a good idea to program normally this way.
2: Is this a form? It sounds (from the way you word it) that the variables are part of a form. If so, pass $_POST into your form and it will be able to evaluate them. If it's METHOD=GET then use $_GET. This is also a much more generic way to program since if you add a new variable to the form, you don't have to make it global in this function. if (myFunction($_GET)){ echo "Everything is hunky dory!"; } else { echo "Blow Chow"; } function myFunction($formArray=null){ if (isNull($formArray){ return false; } if (isarray($formArray)){ return true; } else { return false; } } // function myFunction($formArray=null) WARNING: I have not tried the code above. Use at your own risk. But the concepts are there. * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Paul Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] globals in functions Is there a quick way to set all variables as global so that they are avalible to a function, i'm doing an eval inside, so i need all the submitted variables to be avalible, or do i have to decalre them individualy.
