I have two functions.

<?php
function theme_user_header(){

$meh = "sdad".$bleh."sdad";

}
?>

and

<?php
function theme_user_butt(){

//something here

echo $meh

}
?>

I want to access variable $meh which is declared in the first function, in the second function.
However, when I echo/print_r $meh from the second version it returns 0.

I know I'm doing something wrong. This has been bugging me for days!

Thanks.

No Globals!

In my opinion, won't work. Your function must return something.

@OP

since you don't want to a create class and do the GLOBAL var stuff,

Why not make the function return a variable, something like this should do the magic.

<?php
function theme_user_header(){

$meh = "sdad".$bleh."sdad";

return $meh;

}
?>

and

function theme_user_butt(){

//call the function and echo it
//something here

echo theme_user_header()."testing";

}

now
you need the final piece that will show the final output and that is by calling 'themw_user_butt()'

theme_user_butt();

if all code is meant to be in one page here is what u should have

<?php
function theme_user_header(){

$meh = "sdad".$bleh."sdad";

return $meh;

}

function theme_user_butt(){

//call the function and echo it
//something here

echo theme_user_header();

}

theme_user_butt();
?>

I hope this helps

- SAFE.
