j95661 j95661 Getting the hang of it Registered: 2001-02-27 Posts: 84 Loc: sacramento,ca usa	I have looked in the kixstart manual, and Im confused on defining variables. the manual states that if you implicitly declare a variable $x =10 It is considered a global variable. Is this true for inside an IF statement or a subroutine. I have not been declaring my varibles inside IF statements for all my scripts... I know this screams newbie.... I'll admit. _________________________ WonderBoy Constantly learning everyday, how much I dont know :-)

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Yeah, its true. they're all global. Its not the assignment that makes it global, its the DIMing or lack there-of. But I would suggest you NOT declare vars inside IF statements - i know thats what the manual says you can do, but to be honest, that would confuse the hell out of anybody. I wouldn't get too worked-up about scope. The only time you should need to consider is with UDF's, just DIM vars local and you should be cool. -Shawn p.s. Ron's word is "Hell, I rarely DIM them... I just use them. I'm a bad boy" [ 08 May 2002, 00:37: Message edited by: Shawn ]
