Question

I want to get the variable $place from function getaddress and pass the value to function breakintostrings. It seems i cant get the variable $place.

<?php
   $username ="1224hammer";
  getaddress ($username);
  function getaddress($username)
    {
    $place = row['place'];

     function format_address($record)
      {
      function breakintostrings($x,$y,$z)   

      }  
      breakintostrings($place,"$y","$z") 
    }
  ?>

Answer 1

Create the variable $place outside of your getaddress function and import it into your breakintostringsfunction using the global keyword:

$place = '';

function getaddress($username)
{
   $place = row['place'];
}

function breakintostrings($x,$y,$z)   
  global $place;
  // more code
}
