Access to a specific variable in 2seprate files

Question

a variable(such as X) define in line 3 in index.php file.in line 5, i include another php file.Can i access the variable(X) into included file?

Answer 1

You can if you put the include "another.php" line after the line where the X variable is declared (in index.php), I assume index.php here includes another.php and not the other way around.

Hth, cmiiw

Answer 2

Why do you upvote your own question haha

But no you would have to include the index.php in this other file so it doesn't work
