When the Page is set it pulls the correct URL and Title values out of an array and put's them into variables, but I can only use them inside the function, and not outside.
Here is the complete index page:
[PHP]<?php
//Start Session
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
//Get Settings
include_once("../config.php");
//Get choice from URL
$choice = $_GET['id'];
//Get Last Page they were on
$LastPage = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
//If no choice exists or their not verified show login screen
if ($choice == "" or $_SESSION['AccessCode']!= $AccessCode or substr($LastPage, 0, $DomainLength)!= $SiteURL) {
include("login.php");
//If allowed then proceed
} elseif ($choice!= "") {
function getpage() {
global $choice;
//Pages values
$AdminMenu = array(
'ManageCategories' => array("manage-categories.php", 'Manage Categories'),
'ManageForums' => array("manage-forums.php", 'Manage Forums'),
);
//Assign Values and Destroy Array
$url = $AdminMenu[$choice][0];
$title = $AdminMenu[$choice][1];
unset($AdminMenu);
//Include Selected Page
include("$url");
}
include("template.php");
}
?>[/PHP]
Here is the template so you can see how it's being included.

Thanks for any help
you may need to add
global $url = $AdminMenu[$choice][0];
global $title = $AdminMenu[$choice][1];
if those are the vars you are trying to access
you also won't be able to echo $title until after you call your getpage function
The
globalTry this and see:
Incorrect
function mytitle() {
global $title = 'Title';
}
mytitle();
echo '$title is: ' . $title . '<br />';
You should have received a parse error on the first line of the function. Now, if you first declare the variable, then assign the value, you can use it in the global scope:
Correct
function mytitle() {
global $title;
$title = 'Title';
}
mytitle();
echo '$title is: ' . $title . '<br />';
If this isn't the way it works, somebody please correct me. I banged my head on this for the better part of one morning when I first tried doing the same thing that jatar_k mentioned! I searched everywhere trying to get a more definitive conclusion other than the short sentence in the manual:
First, an example use of global:
