phpwcms Support Forum

Hi there,

i was searching for a solution to retrieve Variables in external PHP Files just like {PHP:my_ext.php?var=1} - there is a function in the forum but it messes up with other php includes.

So i have a very quick and very dirty hack:

In the content Element:

[PHP]
$var = 1
$relocate = "my_external.php"
include(relocate);
[/PHP]


IMPORTANT: 'relocate' is a file without file ending in the wcms root with the following content:

<?
include($relocate);
?>


So now, you have the $var available in my_external.php, and in any other external php file namend in $relocate.


Has Anyone another solution for this?
I tried everything, defining $GLOBALS wont work, but maybe I didn´t get the way PHPVAR works ...

Thank you

If you use it that way it can not work.

all vars you are using have to be defined as global vars because all {PHP, {PHPVAR, [PHP is processed in separate functions - so vars you are set there are NON GLOBAL vars.

Vars you want to use anywhere has to be brought to the $GLOBALS array first.
