include function

[yllai]

in my main page(main.php), i have using include function to include script in other page(second.php)..means i coded as include('second.php');

the main.php is the interface of the page...second.php is the processing script for process the data..so how do it pass the value from main.php to second.php? any idea? any example of this?

Thanks.

What you could do is put the functions in main.php. Then you can check if, let's say a button was pushed, and call the function. You could do it like this:

if(isset($_POST['senddata']))
 {
 $variable = $_POST['textboxdata'];
 $othervariable = $_POST['othertextbox'];
 myfunction($variable, $othervariable);
 }

how about if i didn't use button?

You can access and use global variables within a function using the global keyword. You'll want to read more about Variable scope [php.net] in PHP.
