Setting Application Variables

How do you manage/create application variables in PHP? ColdFusion has the application.cfm page ; ASP has Global.asa ... does PHP provide a page to store application/global wide variables?

Thanks

RE: Setting Application Variables

not in the same way as .asp

$_SESSION variables are global through out the application, or you can declare variables global on a specific page if you want the data available inside a function. PHP does not require declaring variables and also doesn't require defining them by type.

php Code:

Original - php Code
$var = 27; // var contains the integer 27 and is treated as an integer $var .= " points"; // var now contains the string "27 points" $var = substr($var, 0, 2); // var now contains the string "27" $var = $var/9; // var is now an integer = 3 // all this is legal in php

 
$var = 27; // var contains the integer 27 and is treated as an integer
$var .= " points"; // var now contains the string "27 points"
$var = substr($var, 0, 2); // var now contains the string "27"
$var = $var/9; // var is now an integer = 3
// all this is legal in php

RE: Setting Application Variables

Ok, thank you. I just needed to make sure I wasn't missing an application/variable declaration page; but I think I will create a page w/ all my app variables on it because it makes the application easier to manage.

Thanks again.
