Can I define a global variable in a function and then successfully reference it in the rest of the page? I know that globals are usually defined in the page scope and referenced in a function by specifying them as globals, but it seems logical that a variable can be created and given a value in a function and then referenced after the function has been called. -- Jim Freedom is worth protecting -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
