Modular PHP

I am trying to keep common functions in separate files and include/require them at the top of the current script. If I require two files in a script, calling a function from one file from the function in the other file does not work. Each function can be called successfully from the main script. For example:

***main script***
[snip]
require "util.inc" // contains print_debug()
require "scoreboard.inc" // contains get_scoreboard()

From within get_scoreboard(), I cannot print_debug.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Brant,

Did you already try the include() function instead of require?

I figured it out. It is a scope problem. In the scoreboard function, I have to add the line:

global $DEBUG; // the global var that tells if priniting should occur.

This defines the var and lets the func "see" the print_debug function located in the other file.

Now it prints.
