I'm developing a Wordpress theme and I'm trying to store some of my variables in a function to re-use it among my theme files, without writing the same variables hundreds of time and without make them global. I've read that's a bad practice.
For now I'm using add_action
but without results. Having in my functions.php
add_action( 'run_pms_variables', 'pms_variables_function' );
function pms_variables_function ($uid ) {
$the_group_uid = isset($_COOKIE["v_group_id"]) && !empty($_COOKIE["v_group_id"]) ? trim(strip_tags($_COOKIE["v_group_id"])) : "";
$session_detail = vpb_get_the_user_detail($uid);
$session_username = strlen($session_detail[0]) > 40 ? ucfirst(substr($session_detail[0],0,40)) : ucfirst($session_detail[0]);
$session_uid = $session_detail[1];
$session_email = $session_detail[2];
$session_photo = $session_detail[3];
$session_country = $session_detail[4];
//$session_usernames = explode(' ', $session_detail[0]);
$session_firstname = get_user_meta($uid,'first_name', true );
$session_lastname = get_user_meta($uid,'last_name', true );
}
and using eventually in my files like:
do_action('run_pms_variables', $uid );
I mean, can you address me to the right method? Thanks.
