Question

I have classes included on my bootstrap.php and variables instantiated on the classes included, When I included bootstrap.php it gives me a Call to a member function on a non object

bootstrap.php

require_once "config/constants.php";
require_once "libraries/Dropbox/DropboxClient.php";

$dropbox = new DropboxClient(array(
'app_key' => DROPBOX_CONSUMER_KEY, 
'app_secret' => DROPBOX_CONSUMER_SECRET,
'app_full_access' => true,
),'en');

index.php

require_once "bootstrap.php";

dropbox_file_tree();

function dropbox_file_tree()
{
     if(!empty($access_token)) {

     $dropbox->SetAccessToken($access_token);

     }

    $files = $dropbox->GetFiles("",true); 

    print_r($files);
}

It’s nothing to do with include, it’s a scope issue, functions only see local variables.

You have to use the global keyword or the $GLOBALS superglobal or pass it as a parameter to the function.
