PHP, getting variable from another php-file

Question

So I wonder if it is possible to get a variable from a specific php-file when the variable-name is used in multiple php-file. An example is this:

Answer 1

You can, but the variable in your last include will overwrite the variable in your first one:

myfile.php

$var = 'test';

mysecondfile.php

$var = 'tester';

test.php

include 'myfile.php';
echo $var;

include 'mysecondfile.php';
echo $var;

Output:

test

tester

I suggest using different variable names.
