Setting PHP Variables

[JAC]

If I set a variable in "forumdisplay.php" should I be able to access it in any of the templates called by "forumdisplay.php"? Because I have tried and not been able to.

You should be able to.

Where did you set the variable and where are you using it?

[JAC]

I set it right after the moderator section in "forum_display.php" around line 119, and I'm trying to use it in "forumdisplay_forumbit_level1_post" .

Also where is the "$forum[moderators]" variable set at in the code, I've searched everywhere and can't find it.

(1) Globalize the variable name in the makeforumbit() function, in that same file.

(2) Here:

PHP Code:

        unset($forum['moderators']);
        $listexploded=explode(",", $forum['parentlist']);
        while ( list($mkey1,$mval1)=each($listexploded) ) {
          if ( !isset($imodcache["$mval1"]) ) {
            continue;
          }
          reset($imodcache["$mval1"]);
          while ( list($mkey2,$moderator)=each($imodcache["$mval1"]) ) {
            if ( !isset($forum['moderators']) ) {
              eval("\$forum['moderators'] = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_moderator')."\";");
            } else {
              eval("\$forum['moderators'] .= \", ".gettemplate('forumhome_moderator')."\";");
            }
          }
        }

        if ( !isset($forum['moderators']) ) {
          $forum['moderators'] = ' ';
        }

Worked Perfectly
Thanks A Bunch

I'm having a similar problem: I appended an image swapping script to the global.php file and the variables are not being read by the header template: <img src="<?echo $imgsrc;?>" >

What does it mean to globalize the variable name?

Thanks, Chris
