PHP Help

I've got a question about PHP.

I have 2 files, (File A and File B for now).
Is it possible for me to call a variable or array from File A and use it in File B, or does that create one massive loop?

No problems at all. Let's say you have this:
<?php
/**
* This is file 1. It is named file1.php
*/

$myVar = 100;

?>
Then the following separate document:
<?php
/**
* This is file 2. It is named file2.php
*/

require_once("file1.php");

echo $myVar;

?>
The result printed would be 100. The "require_once" is a PHP function that will include all the code from another file. The other file is executed, so if it contained other echo statements, you would see those first. This is a very common technique for storing frequently used functions or data. Hope that helps. PHP.net user manual has a good discussion of require() vs require_once() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php).
