I'm having an issue where what should be global variables are not inscope and I'm confused as to why.
 
 In Case 1 the variables are not in scope for functions in File2
 In Case 2 the varibales are in scope for access in File1's functions
 AFTER the include
 In Case 3 the varibales are in scope for functionsin File2
 
 
 Why does case 1 not work but case 3 does? Does case 2 the proper method
 to use?
 
 CASE 1:
 
 File1:
 
 switch (OBJ) {
 case 1:
 include "file2.php"
 if Function_In_File2()
 ....
 break;
 }
 
 File2:
 
 <?php
 
 $MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE = "TEST";
 
 Function Function_In_FIle()
 {
 global $MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE;
 echo $My_GLOBAL_VARIABLE; /* Produces Notice: Undefined variable:
 $My_GLOBAL_VARIABLE in File2.php on line xx */
 }
 
 ?>
 
 CASE 2:
 
 
 File1:
 
 switch (OBJ) {
 case 1:
 include "file2.php"
 if Function_In_File2()
 ....
 break;
 }
 
 File2:
 
 <?php
 
 global $MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE; $MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE = "TEST";
 
 Function Function_In_FIle()
 {
 global $MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE;
 echo $My_GLOBAL_VARIABLE; /* Displays "TEST" */
 }
 
 ?>
 
 CASE 3:
 
 
 File1:
 
 switch (OBJ) {
 case 1:
 include "file2.php"
 echo $MY_GLOBAL_VARAIBLE; /* Displays "TEST" Why does this work and
 not case 1? */
 
 }
 
 File2:
 
 <?php
 
 $MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE = "TEST";
 
 ?>
