Hi Mike,
I finally got it. Thanks. All I needed to do was just define global
$page_title inside the function to denote that I wanted to use that
variable.
One other quick question, in my original code (per below) the function
create_global() was used to create_globals on demand. But this involved a
lot of jumping, from one function to another just to create the globals on
demand. Is this efficient (more?? less??) compared to just stating global
$page_title inside the function?
Please enlighten me.
-------config-----------
$page_title = "Main Page Title";
--------------------------
-------functions---------
function display_title()
{
global $page_title; <<---- This was what I missed
echo $page_title;
}
function org_display_title_code() <<--- That was what I used originally
{
$l_main_title = create_globals( 'page_title' );
echo 'This is (create global) title1 -> ' . $l_main_title ;
}
function create_globals( $passed_option )
{
if ( isset( $GLOBALS[$passed_option] ) )
{
return $GLOBALS[$passed_option];
}
}
-----------------------
------index.php----------
<?php
display_title();
?>
------------------------

And is the assignment in the included file inside a function? If so, the
usual rules about variables within functions apply. If not, please post the
relevant code from both files so we can try to figure out your problem.
Cheers!
