 * I have an Array in one file:
 *     ```
       function myArray{
        global $the_array;
        $the_array =Array (......);
       }
       ```
   
 * now, in another file, I want to use this array,
    should I say: `$var = $the_array;`
   or, should I say: `$var = array($the_array)`
 * Thanks for helping!
