函数中全局数组的范围[重复]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Reference: What is variable scope, which variables are accessible from where and what are “undefined variable” errors? 3 answers

I'm trying to add to, and print the contents of a global array that is being accessed within an individual function.

PHP

<?php

// Globals for data cache
$city_array = [];

/*  printArray
 *  print the value of global array
*/
function printArray() {
    print_r($city_array);
}

printArray();

?>

This is returning an error:

Notice: Undefined variable: city_array in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/donorsearch/process.php on line 6

How can I get access to this global array within this local function?

</div>

Answer 1

To access global variable in function you must use global to tell PHP you want that:

function printArray() {
    global $city_array;

    ....
}
