Return an array value from included file in a function-Collection of common programming errors

Ok, stupid question, I guess…

I’m trying to do this:

File: pt.php

File: index.php

But this doesn’t work (Notice: Undefined variable: lang and langlist).

What am I doing wrong?

   global $lang, $langlist;

2. Your syntax is wrong:

   should be
