Question

Not the best name for a thread but still…

I got

<?php include('inc/nav_bar.php'); ?>
...
<?php
    main code block
?>

I need to print one variable from “main code block” to “nav_bar” block,
is there is any good way to do this ?

The only solution I’ve found so far is to use javascript.

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly your nav_bar.php prints out something which should contain the value of a variable in the main code block.

Then you could try to “catch” the output of the nav_bar.php:

ob_start();
include('inc/nav_bar.php');
$navBarContent = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
// main code block: replace some placeholders in $navBarContent with variables content

Edit: But I agree with the others. A better solution is to change your code-design and use classes/functions.
