$header and variables

[Lionel]

I made a bunch of php and I defined all of them THIS_SCRIPT as reports.
In each one of them I made the variable $folder=xyz;
In header I am trying to display a different image with the conditional

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='reports'"><img src="$folder/images/header.gif"><else />....</if>

The $folder is not recognized by the header, although it is recognized by the scripts. How can I make header recognize it?

In global.php, before the header template is evaluated, require the scripts that use the variables in question

Ah thanks. You just helped me big time. Since these are 48 scripts and thanks God they are using the same VBA_CMS page, I simply added 'folder' once in vba global variables.
