Using $vbphrase in plugin

[D.Ilyin]

Can some body help me with next problem:
I need that my plugin return some value with global phrase
when i use this construction:

PHP Code:

return "$vbphrase[sp_default_header] $sp_content"; 


it returns only second variable.

How can i use $vbphrase['.....'] in plugins?

Yeah, you can use $vbphrase in a plugin. Are you certain that the phrase you are trying to use is in the global phrase set? If it is not, you might have to use fetch_phrase or fetch_phrase_group to get it. Also, if this is a standalone php file you have created, I believe you have to indicate the phrase groups you want before you include the global.php file.

Just do a

global $vbphrase;

at the beginning of the plugin. That should me it global if it already isn't.

If that doesn;lt work, you might try:

return $vbphrase[sp_default_header] ." $sp_content";

yes. it's global. even if i use vB own global phrase...

Also, if this is a standalone php file you have created, I believe you have to indicate the phrase groups you want before you include the global.php file.

no it's a too plugins. not a file.
First it's a function with condition.
Second it's function caller.
In condition i need to add phrase that inserted when function called whithout parametrs.
Thats it

global $vbphrase;

added it in first plugin. but it is not working too

I was trying this:

PHP Code:

return $vbphrase[sp_default_header] ." $sp_content"; 


returned CONTENT

PHP Code:

return "$vbphrase[sp_default_header] $sp_content"; 


returned CONTENT
and when i make mistake

PHP Code:

return $vbphrase-[sp_default_header] ." $sp_content"; 


returned -[sp_default_header]CONTENT

Thanks guys! For trying to help!

PHP Code:

global $vbphrase; //added by Boofo advice later
if (!function_exists('handle_sp'))
{
    function handle_sp(&$parser, $sp_body, $options)
    {
        if ($options == null)
        {
            $sp = "
            <!--CONTENT-->
                        $sp_body
            <!--/CONTENT-->";
            $sp = $vbphrase['sp_default_header'] . $sp;
        }
        else
        {
            $sp = "
            <!--CONTENT-->
                        $sp_body
                        $options
            <!--/CONTENT-->";

        }
        return "$sp";
    }
}

PHP Code:

global $vbphrase; 


This should be (first line seems best) inside your function.
so:

PHP Code:

if (!function_exists('handle_sp')) 
{ 
    function handle_sp(&$parser, $sp_body, $options) 
    { 
        global $vbphrase; //added by Boofo advice later 
        if ($options == null) 
............. 


For more information see the PHP manual on Variable Scope.

Ah, I didn't know he was doing a function.

If it was not inside a function, then he would not have a scope problem.

[Boofo]

I've never heard of a scope problem before. At least, not called that, anyway. Thanks for pointing it out. I will have to read up on it.
