i have made a page (overall.php) in which several elements are defined:
the connection with the database
a function called session_checker to check if users are logged in
and a last function(function getuserinfo()) that substracts values from
the database based on the session variables of the logged in user
Now this last function sets 2 variables eg.
$username=$row['user_name'];
$userstatus=$row['user_status'];
like this i do not have to recall this script on every page but i just
can do the function at the top of every page
Now on every page of my site I require this file
require(overall.php);
But it seems that i cannot get the variables outta this file.
So i can not use $username or $userstatus on the pages.
I think it has something to do with require not passing the variables?
Off course i can repeat the function script on the top of every page,
but that's stupid i think.
Can i use a include without any problems? Or is there a significant
difference in use and security?
