[Xerte-dev] Re: Youtube RSS

Hmm. I still get completely lost trying to figure out how play.php, play_html5.php, modules/xerte/play.php and so on all interoperate. It makes absolutely no sense to me what happens through those files at all.

I declare global inside a function if the variable is global in scope and you wish to use it Which is a statement in php crazy scope

so

$yt_api = "blah";

function yt(){
global $yt_api;
echo $yt_api;
}

would output "blah"

You could add

echo "<script> some javascript </script>";

if that works
