Hi All,
OK I’m feeling silly.
I’m trying to set the global variable newGlob to a value of 30 using <?php $GLOBALS['newGlob'] = 30 ?> on a page that I’m loading.
I had thought that once set, a global variable could be used on other pages and by CMSB
I guess I just don’t understand the process, since it doesn’t seem to do the job and I can’t echo newGlob on any other page.
Any thoughts?

Hi Jerry
Thanks for posting
The $GLOBAL array is only going to be set for the page you are currently on.
To use the same values on different pages, you can look at the $SESSION variable.
Another option could be looking at storing the values in your database.
Do either of those options seem like they'd work?
Let me know what you think.

Hi Ross,
I found this tutorial which made it simple to understand.
