wordpress help

tried this over at WP support but nobody answered...

all i want to do is create external variables (string variables - no database calls) in a php include file and be able to use them within the WP template.

so, i have variables.php

Code:

<?
$variable1 = "Hello World";
$variable2 = "How R U?";
$variable3 = "Need Answers!";
?>

then, i want to take variables.php and insert into wordpress code somewhere where all pages in wordpress have access and can use all the variables through echo statements...

Code:

<?
include('variables.php');
?>

Please help!

thanks.

RE: wordpress help

Why not just put your include line into the config.php file? Every other file within WordPress calls it.

RE: wordpress help

When you doing something like this, you must edit original WP code. It isn't good way to resolve any problem. In my opinion you should make function like this

php Code:

Original - php Code
function get_my_string($variable_name) { /* some code */ return $some_variable; }

function get_my_string($variable_name) {
 
/* some code */
 
return $some_variable;
}

and put it into your script like plug-in.
advantages:
- you have original WP code
- you add to name-space only one function
- you can easy change variables in one place
- you can also easy disable this
- you can use non-exists variables and it still works
