Hi guys,
I got a question about excluding parts of my php files in combination with the db class.

First of all, lets call my file "test.php". In that file I got like 500 Lines of php code, lets say 100 lines is all over the same something like this:

PHP Code:

    $dataForSquadTodo = array();
    while ($tododata = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($DATAFROMOUTSIDEFUNCTION) )
    {
        //make a class so that you can adjust bg for tr
        switch ($tododata['priority'])
        {
            case "Sehr Hoch":
                $style = 'rhigh';
                break;
            
            case "Hoch":
                $style = 'high';
                break;
            
            case "Mittel":
                $style = 'medium';
                break;
            
            case "Niedrig":
                $style = 'low';
                break;
            
        }
        
    // nun stehen die Daten in $userdata zur Verf?gung
        $data = array(
                'id'            => $tododata['id'],
                'title'         => $tododata['title'],
                'description'   => $tododata['description'],
                'squad'         => $tododata['squadname'],
                'status'        => $tododata['status'],
                'priority'      => $tododata['priority'],
                'style'         => $style
                  );
        $dataForSquadTodo[] = $data;
    }
    
    foreach ($dataForSquadTodo as $item => $value)
    {
        $templater = vB_Template::create('todo_table_list');
            $templater->register('item', $item);
            $templater->register('value', $value);
        $todoDataSquad .= $templater->render();  
    } 


I tried to put this in a function such and called it something like
"

PHP Code:

getDataAndProduceArray( $data ) 


"

However, there was no way, that I was able to use "$DATAFROMOUTSIDEFUNCTION" - I just got a blank site. It was even in the test.php and I didnt give it to another php file in includes/ or somewhere else. Does anybody know, why I cant do it like that ? Why is my script not recognising my function ?

All the best
