[wp-hackers] Variable Scope

[Aaron Harun]

I don't know exactly when you are trying to call it, but in WP 2.5,
when activating a plugin, you have to declare the variable as a global
outside of a function first.

  global $variable;
  $variable = get_option('variabletest');

  function dummy() {
     global $variable;
     echo $variable;
  }
