# Global variable in wp_localize_script, help needed.

 * It’s got me crazy! 🙂 What is wrong with my piece of code? wp_localize_script
   doesn’t recognize my variable, even I declare it global in my function…
    Thanks!
 *     ```
       $phpvariable = "This is from PHP";
   
       function js_enqueue_scripts() {
           global $phpvariable; 
           wp_register_script( "hendlerskripte", "/mojaskriptax.js" );
           wp_enqueue_script( "hendlerskripte" );
           wp_localize_script( "hendlerskripte", "JS_object_php_var",  $phpvariable);
       }
       add_action( "wp_enqueue_scripts", "js_enqueue_scripts" );
       ```

 * It must also be declared as global outside the function.

 * Thank you for your reply.
    I thought this was a global variable outside my function,
   by definition
 * >  A variable declared outside a function has a GLOBAL SCOPE and can only be 
   > accessed outside a function
 *  :
 * `$phpvariable = "This is from PHP"; // global scope`
 * …but obviously I’m wrong. 🙂
    Please, a brief example how to do it would be great.
