PHP dynamic require - php

Question

The main issue it's still the same:
This is my proyect
/
| index.php
|-test1
| test.php
The test.php
<?php
echo $variable;
?>
The index.php
<?php
$variable = "<br>index";
echo 'test<br>';
$full_path = dirname(__FILE__)."/test1";
$adm_extension = array( "php");
if (is_dir($full_path)) {
if (($handle = opendir($full_path))) {
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_file($full_path . '/' . $file)) {
$item_path = $full_path . '/' . $file;
$extension = pathinfo($item_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if (in_array($extension, $adm_extension)) {
require $item_path;
}
}
}
}
}
And it's works like a charm, the output is:
test
index
If i want to encapsulate this functionality in a function like this:
index1.php
$variable = "<br>index";
echo 'test<br>';
$full_path = dirname(__FILE__)."/test1";
$adm_extension = array( "php" );
function rTest($full_path, $adm_extension){
if (is_dir($full_path)) {
if (($handle = opendir($full_path))) {
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_file($full_path . '/' . $file)) {
$item_path = $full_path . '/' . $file;
$extension = pathinfo($item_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if (in_array($extension, $adm_extension)) {
require $item_path;
}
}
}
}
}
}
rTest($full_path, $adm_extension);
I got this:
( ! ) Notice: Undefined variable: variable in C:\wamp\www\sandbox\test1\test.php on line 3
Any clue??

your script probably, when going through files, opens test.php before index1.php so $variable isn't defined yet
test it:
function rTest($full_path, $adm_extension){
if (is_dir($full_path)) {
if (($handle = opendir($full_path))) {
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_file($full_path . '/' . $file)) {
$item_path = $full_path . '/' . $file;
$extension = pathinfo($item_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if (in_array($extension, $adm_extension)) {
echo $item_path.'<br />';
require $item_path;
}
}
}
}
}
}

Ok, a friend help me to solve it out.
It's was a really dumb error. The problem was when I made the require, it was made in the function scope.
For my solution I do something like this:
function rTest($full_path, $adm_extension){
$paths = array();
if (is_dir($full_path)) {
if (($handle = opendir($full_path))) {
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_file($full_path . '/' . $file)) {
$item_path = $full_path . '/' . $file;
$extension = pathinfo($item_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
if (in_array($extension, $adm_extension)) {
$paths[] = $item_path;
}
}
}
}
}
return $paths;
}
foreach(rTest($full_path, $adm_extension) as $path){
require $path;
}
