use own globals in block files

It seems my blond-mode was activated... lol

I have tried to create a block and for that i want use some functions from a module. In this way i have called the file that contains the functions with require_once. To use the functions i need some variables, so i have added the variables before i call my functions file. But without luck!

Why i can not use own globals in a block file?

Code:

$content = '';


$foo = 1;


function wtf() {


   global $foo;


   $bar = $foo;


   return $bar;


}


$content .= wtf();

Try $GLOBALS['foo'] instead.

I have it tried but i have in my called function a 2nd function in use. There i have the same problem, because the both functions are using the same module globals and if I pass the globals directly in the function then I have to change the entire module. Otherwise i must duplicate both functions in the block file but that is what i wanted to avoid.

try

$content = '';
global $foo;
$foo = 1;
function wtf() {
global $foo;
$bar = $foo;
return $bar;
}
$content .= wtf();
