Using global vars within a function in PHP the way you do it in Javascript

Question

I have a function that uses lots of global vars and arrays - e.g.

$a=1;
$b[0]=\'a\';
$b[1]=\'b\';
$c=\'Hello\';

function foo() {
 echo \"$a 
       $b[0] 
              


        

Answer 1

You should use the "global" keyword, which tells the compiler to look for global variables.

function foo() {
  **global $a, $b, $c;**
 echo "$a 
       $b[0] 
       $b[1] 
       $c";
}
