In php we sometimes need to include a file. For example, when I was writing a framework some time ago, I planned to use native PHP as the template, and then write a display method to introduce the template file, but this was just my imagination.
After writing it, I found that all variables in the template were undefined. Through various research and searching for information, I summarized the scope in several situations when including files.
The first case: A file includes B file, and the variables in A can be called in B file.
A file code:
<?php $aaa = '123'; include "B.php";
B file code:
<?php echo $aaa;
The content can be output normally.
Second case: A file includes B file, and then the variables of B file can be called in A file.
A file code:
<?php include "B.php"; echo $fff;
B file code:
<?php $fff = 'i am f';
At this time, the content can be output normally.
The third situation: Call B file in a method of a certain class in A file, and then the variables in the method can be called in B file.
A file code:
<?php class test{ public function show(){ $bbb = 'abc'; include "B.php"; } } $t = new test; $t->show();
Code of file B:
<?php echo $bbb;
At this time, the content can be output normally.
Fourth case: File A imports file B through a defined function. Variables in A cannot be used in file B, but variables in the calling function (display) in file A can be used. .
A file code:
<?php $aaa = '123'; function display($file){ $bbb= 'asdasdas'; include $file; } display("B.php");
B file code:
<?php echo $aaa; echo $bbb;
After running, $aaa prompts that it is undefined, and $bbb can be output normally.
So I started to assume that using a display method to introduce templates was not feasible. Based on the three situations, I finally chose to write a class to import the template file. Currently, ThinkPHP and Smarty also use classes to introduce template files. Any deficiencies in the article are welcome to be corrected.
