I am having a problem of Undefined variable when I try to use an array inside a function. An example is the code below. How can I be able to access the array $prev inside the function hello()? I've tried searching but I don't really know how to use $GLOBALS[$varname] when the variable is an array. Thanks for any help!
<?php
$prev = [0,1,2];
function hello(){
echo $prev[1];
}
hello();
hello();
hello();
?>
You can also pass the variable into the function:
$prev = [0,1,2];
function hello(array $array){
echo $array[1];
}
hello($prev);
hello($prev);
hello($prev);
?>
An other way is to pass the variable by reference.
function hello(&$array){
$array[1]++;
echo $array[1];
}
This is the way to use it as global. Btw there are also other ways to use it inside the hello function.
$prev = [0,1,2];
function hello(){
global $prev;
echo $prev[1];
}
hello();
hello();
hello();
You could do something like:
$GLOBALS["prev"] = [0,1,2];
function hello(){
echo $GLOBALS['prev'][1];
}
hello();
However consider doing something like:
$prev = [1,2,3];
function hello($prev) {
echo $prev[1];
}
hello($prev);
As an alternative solution:
class GlobalsContainer {
public static $prev=[1,2,3];
}
function hello() {
echo GlobalsContainer::$prev[1];
}
hello();
Declare array with global keyword inside the function. See it -
<?php
function hello(){
global $prev = [0,1,2];
echo $prev[1];
}
?>
global $prev;to make that var available.
