Help adding variables to header

[pgowder]

I just upgraded to 3.6.4 from 3.0.

In the old version I could use the php include function to process some variables and then call them in the header.

For example I use this:

PHP Code:

$fileusername = "$userinfo['username']";
$fileemail = "$userinfo['email']";
$fileuserid = "$userinfo['userid']"; 


And this:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
require("skyad.inc");
$skyad= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 


So now I'm trying to do the same thing in 3.6. I created new plugins for each of these. And hooked them to global_start.

But on the forums, the variables don't work.

What am I doing wrong?
