Php variable

Question

variable inside a block in PHP , is having global scope??

if(1>0)
{
$x = 10;
}

Answer 1

To further clarify Mickel's great answers, I'll say specifically, PHP does not support block level variable scope.

Answer 2

"Any variable used inside a function is by default limited to the local function scope". That should solve your doubt. In any case, here you have much more information:

Answer 3

In the example you gave yes, the variable has a global scope and can be used outside the if statement
