a variable can to be used in every place

If I have in this dir :\AA\BB\E\F\G\H\I\
one file.php with this variable:
$pip['value']=50;

If I want to use in other dir's file \AA\BB\CC\

1) is possible?
but I not want to require or include the file.php.
I would like use directly the variable.

one way you could do that is to save the variable into the user sessions and
retreive it with $_SESSION or something of that nature.

you have to open the file though right?
so unless you treat it as atext file, and have the file like this:
$pip['value']=50;
$pip['value2']=150;
$pip['value3']=150;
and use file() to get an array, and split to by = ...
or use regular expressions to extract the key=>values

the easiest way is to include it, unless there's some reason you
can't:

file.php:

<?php
return array
(
'pip' => array
(
'host' => 'localhost',
'user' => 'me',
'pass' => 'strong_3st_in-the-wORld!',
'db' => 'cheese',
'value' => 50,
)
);
?>

then in which file you need it, use
$arrayInfo = include( 'file.php' );
print_r( $arrayInfo );

but i understand it might not be what youre after
