variables in footer

Display global PHP variables in a CF table footer.

Overview

Variables defined in the settings tab are not accessible in the list display footer section.
In the footer section, declare the variable as global before using it to output the value.

Hi Max,

how do u mean it? php code starts


zakladni.saldo: if (!isset($saldo)) {global $saldo;} .........

and works fine on page.

Ok, I think you can use this in the footer then:


global $saldo;
echo $saldo;

But I'm not 100% sure, please try it and let me know!

It is OK. I thought that command global $saldo; rewrite the value, but I was wrong.
thank you

Hi homeopat,

I think that you need to have the global $variable_name; line **before** you make any use of the variable. Otherwise a local copy is created.
