include file in a class with global/parent scope?

Hello,

I understand the why $vars is not in the global scope, but i was
wondering if there was a way from within the class file to include a
file in the parent's scope?

i tried ::include('vars.php'), parent::include('vars.php'), but this
breaks syntax...

Please consider the following three files:

'scope.class.inc'
class CScope {

public $var = 'class scope\n';

function cinclude($filename) {
include('vars.php');
echo "In class $vars\n";
}
}
?>

'vars.php'
//global $vars;//if this line is uncommented then the desired result is
achieved however, i don't want to change all the variables to global
scope (this file is includeded in other files where global scoped
variables is not desireable).
$vars = 'vars.php scope\n';
?>

'scope.php'
include('scope.class.inc');
$object = new CScope;
$object->cinclude('vars.php');
echo "In original $vars\n";//$vars is not defined***
?>

Thanks,
dK

replace all $var with $vars. The extract method proposed is the
opposite of what i'm looking to do. I want to bring the class's include
scope into the calling object's scope.

Re: include file in a class with global/parent scope?

Hello,

I've cleaned up my question a bit.

I want the included file which is called within a method of a class to
have the same scope as the instantiation of the class's object. That
is, i want a class to include a file in the calling object's scope. How
would one do this?

'test.php'
class CSomeClass {
public function cinclude() {
include('vars.php');
}
}

$object = new CSomeClass;
$object->cinclude();
echo $vars;//i want this to print 'hi'
include('vars.php');
echo "obvious $vars";
?>

'vars.php'
$vars = "hi";
?>

OUTPUT:
Notice: Undefined variable: vars in ...\test.php on line 10
obvious hi

DESIRED OUTPUT:
hi
obvious hi

Thanks,
dK

Should get you started:

//one way
class CSomeClass {
public function cinclude() {
include('vars.php');
return get_defined_vars();
}
}

$object = new CSomeClass;
$inc_vars = $object->cinclude();
echo $inc_vars['vars'];//i want this to print 'hi'

---or---

//another way
class CSomeClass {
var $inc_vars;
public function cinclude() {
include('vars.php');
$this->inc_vars = get_defined_vars();
}
}

$object = new CSomeClass;
$object->cinclude();
echo $object->inc_vars['vars'];//i want this to print 'hi'

Another way off the top of my head:

//vars.php
$vars['something'] = 'hi';
$vars['whatever'] = 'bye';

//test.php
class CSomeClass {
var $vars;
public function cinclude() {
include('vars.php');
$this->vars = $vars;
}
}

$object = new CSomeClass;
$object->cinclude();
echo $object->vars['something'];//i want this to print 'hi'
