Would appreciate it, if anyone can let me know how we can set the global $user variable, so that we don’t have to keep re-declaring it in each function, to access its contents. How can we declare it so that all the functions in a module can use it?
The type of global you’re looking for (available always, in every scope) is called a superglobal in PHP. You cannot declare new superglobals, but you can access all globals directly because they are part of the
$GLOBALsuperglobal. In other words, you can use$GLOBALS['user']to access the $user global directly.See also create superglobal variables in php? for more info and alternative methods.
