Re: Parsing php in section pages

<txp:php>
    ...
    global $dtstart;
    global $dtend;
    $dtstart = strftime('%Y%m%dT',$thisarticle['expires']) . $starthours . 'Z'; 
    $dtend= strftime('%Y%m%dT',$thisarticle['expires']) . $endhours. 'Z';
</txp:php>

and

<div class="vevent span-3 last"> <a class="url" href="<txp:permlink />"></a> <abbr class="dtstart" title="<txp:php>echo $dtstart;</txp:php>">August 01, 2010 - 21:00</abbr> <abbr class="dtend" title="<txp:php>echo $dtend;</txp:php>">23:00</abbr>

result:

<txp:php>
		Tag error: <txp:php> -> Notice: Undefined variable: dtstart  on line 1
	</txp:php>
	<txp:php>
		Tag error: <txp:php> -> Notice: Undefined variable: dtend  on line 1
	</txp:php>

Where am I messing up this time? sigh
Thanks in advance.

Re: Parsing php in section pages

Re: Parsing php in section pages

What about this:

global $variable;
$variable['dtstart'] = strftime('%Y%m%dT',$thisarticle['expires']) . $starthours . 'Z';

You need to access the global from the global scope. The variable is not accessible inside the function. For example:

<txp:php>
	global $dtstart; /* Back in the biz */
	echo $dtstart;
</txp:php>

Or using the $GLOBALS superglobal array which contains all the variables defined in the global scope:

<txp:php>
	echo $GLOBALS['dtstart'];
</txp:php>
