How Does Global.php clear all other variables ?

[GlobalFusion]

I simply include the global.php file and use things like $bbuserinfo['username'] on the page.

Like so:

PHP Code:


include('global.php');

echo 'Welcome '.$bbuserinfo['username'].''; 


The above.. works fine.. on its own.


But Im using this in a php page with its own variables.

Similiar to this:

PHP Code:


include('myconfig.php');
include('global.php');

echo 'Welcome to <a href="'.$site_url.'">'.$site_name.'</a>,  '.$bbuserinfo['username'].'.'; 


And by using that approach.. by including global.php it seems to clear all the values stored in my own variables..


At the end of the day, I only seem to be able to show one set or the other.


HELP!
