Q&A

Q1:

Apart from the global keyword, is there any way that a function can access and change global variables?

A1:

You can also access global variables anywhere in your scripts with a built-in associative array called $GLOBALS. To access a global variable called $test within a function, you could reference it as $GLOBALS['test'] You can learn more about associative arrays in the next hour.

You can also change global variables from within a function if it has been passed in by reference.

Q2:

Can you include a function call within a string, as you can with a variable?

A2:

No. You must call functions outside quotation marks.
