Variable Scope Question

[Jesdisciple]

I have a question, and I suppose it will be easiest to give a model:

function foo(){	$var1 = true;	if($var1){		$var2 = 0;	}	echo $var2;//Does this work?}

Is $var2 accessible outside of the if block, as $var1 is? If it is, there's no need to declare function variables in the format $name;, but if it's not, this might be a good idea sometimes.EDIT: Never mind; the answer is yes. Sorry for the (second) unnecessary thread.

Take a look at the PHP manual at php.net (the official site for PHP).Here is a section on variable scopehttp://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

As far as I can tell, it doesn't address code blocks apart from the global issue.
