Hi all,

I'm writing a file repository module and having trouble calling the $perpage global.

for example:

global $perpage;
echo "this is perpage: ".$perpage;


That returns "this is perpage: "

Any ideas? Where is this global stored? Do I need to call another global to get that one to return properly? Thanks!

It's not being passed, it's being called. Maybe I don't totally understand globals, but I was trying to mimic some code from the Downloads module.

Kinda like how you have to call

global $db;


before you can query your database. Does that make sense?

You would be better off defining it:


$perpage = 'Some Value';
define('PERPAGE', $perpage);
echo "This is ".PERPAGE;

Well, that's what I did in the meantime. In the Downloads module, it pulls it as a global. I think it's pulling it from "Number of Items in Top Page:" in the preferences section.

I did this until I can figure out how downloads is doing it:

global $db, $admin_file, $admin, $user, $prefix, $perpage;
if(!isset($perpage)) $perpage=10;

I believe that setting is in the d_config.php file in the Downloads module.
