Re: Including file Inside class

Right now, i have found this solution by adding
extract($GLOBALS);
to the top of my function.

I would now like to somehow get the variables inside the include file
back into the global variable scope, making this function work just
like a normal include file. Is that possible?

I'm trying to setup a class that will allow a file to be included on
the page. It goes something like:

<?php
class myClass {
     ... ... ...
     function includeFile(){
          if(file_exists($this->include_file)){
               include($this->include_file);
          } else {
               $this->error("file missing");
          }
     }
     ... ... ...

}

$foo = "bar";

$page = new myClass();
$page->include_file = "the_file.php";
$page->includeFile();
?>

// the_file.php
<?php  echo $foo;  ?>

It has something to do with variable scope and accessing globals or
something, I'm not sure. My question is how should I setup my class so
that I do not have to use "return" at the bottom of any files I want
to include with my class? I want the includes to function just like
normal includes.

I tried

<?php
class myClass {
     ... ... ...
     function includeFile(){
          global $GLOBALS;
          global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
          if(file_exists($this->include_file)){
               include($this->include_file);
          } else {
               $this->error("file missing");
          }
     }
     ... ... ...

}

but that still doesn't make $foo print "bar".

Thanks for any help on how to accomplish this.
