    copied!<p>Hello <strong>Given situation</strong>: In <code>webpage.php</code> the flashscript is calling a flash script with a flashvar: the playlist file which is a PHP generated XML file: <code>playlist.php</code>, it does that well so long as there are no extra functions in there. Now, in that <code>XML-format</code> playlistfile there needs to be a special function, besides the usual <code>echo("");</code>, namely the very special <code>echo __("");</code> function that is already declared in <code>webpage.php</code> which needs to do something with the paragraphs residing within that xml file.</p> <p><strong>However</strong>, currently the retrieved file misses the function <code>echo __();</code>and says <strong><em>"no such function declared in that xml-format [playlist.php] file"</em></strong>. The php functions that are currently included at the very top of <code>webpage.php</code> somehow do not pass-through-the necessary functions into the playlist file for it to recognise how to handle it, in order for that playlist to get those necessary functions working. </p> <p>Apparently these are not passed through automatically/properly when residing in the flashvars?? Cause the <code>echo __("");</code> works fine when called within <code>webpage.php</code> or via a normal php <code>include("");</code> if those functions are in a different php file. But not working from the <code>playlist.php</code> file.</p> <p>Any ideas why/what is going on here?<br> I appreciate your clues for this prob +1. Thanks very much.</p> <hr> <p><strong>WEBPAGE.PHP</strong> the webpage, has at the top an include with functions:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include (functions.php); ?&gt; // function that know what to do with echo __("paragraph") </code></pre> <p></p> <pre><code>&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt; run( 'play', 'true', 'loop', 'true', 'flashvars', 'xmlFile=/incl/playlist.php', // &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; !! 'wmode', 'transparent', 'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain', ); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;noscript&gt; &lt;object classid="blabla"&gt; &lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /&gt; &lt;param name="movie" value="/movies/movie.swf" /&gt; &lt;param name="flashvars" value="xmlFile=/incl/playlist.php" /&gt; // &lt;&lt;&lt; !! &lt;embed src="/movies/movies.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/&gt; &lt;/object&gt; &lt;/noscript&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>PLAYLIST.PHP</strong> The PHP generated XML file which is retrieved into the webpage as flash variable (see above)</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo ('&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;'); echo ('&lt;songs&gt;'); echo ('&lt;song version="1. "') . __("boom blue blow bell bowl") . ('/&gt;'); echo ('&lt;song version="2. "') . __("ball bail beam bike base") . ('/&gt;'); echo ('&lt;/songs&gt;'); ?&gt; </code></pre>
