Setting a variable inside a function and making it global insidean inner function doesn't work?
Setting a variable inside a function and making it global inside an
inner function doesn't work? Right well I have created this function: Code:
function getForumChildrenTree( $id )
{
$id = intval( $id );
$treeResult = array(
'topics' => array(),
'posts' => array(),
'forums' => array(),
);
applyForumChildrenTree( $id );
}
forum id, then theres a variable that stores an array. Then theres a recursive function called "applyForumChildrenTree" to update the "treeResult" variable, but it's not exactly working. For some reason when I did print_r inside the "applyForumChildrenTree" the array is as applied: Citation:
outputting the "treeResult" array using "print_r" after the recursive function "applyForumChildrenTree" as follows: Code:
function getForumChildrenTree( $id )
{
$id = intval( $id );
$treeResult = array(
'topics' => array(),
'posts' => array(),
'forums' => array(),
);
applyForumChildrenTree( $id );
print_r($treeResult);
}
Citation:

I'm using PHP 5.2.4 Well you haven't defined anything global in your code, unless you did inapplyForumChildrenTree(), in which case it needs to be global everywhere that you want to use it as global. Easiest way would just be to use it like this everywhere: $GLOBALS['treeResult'] = array( 'topics' => array(), 'posts' => array(), 'forums' => array(), ); -Shawn |

Sure, your function can return an array if it's recursive. It returns it to itself and uses whatever logic you need to add to the current array or merge or remove or whatever. Regardless, I explained why you aren't seeing the vars as global and a better way to do it using the $GLOBALS array. I may be off but we would need to see the applyForumChildrenTree() to know. -Shawn |

Actually, if you used $GLOBALS['treeResult'] in applyForumChildrenTree() then you could skip the: $treeResult = $GLOBALS['treeResult']; unset($GLOBALS['treeResult']); return $treeResult; and just: return $GLOBALS['treeResult']; or use $GLOBALS['treeResult']; somewhere later instead of returning it. Also, I would be curious to see applyForumChildrenTree() because chances are great that you can return an array and not use globals at all unless it is "really" needed somewhere else in the app. -Shawn |
