If they are run in the same call, then you can include the PHP file that defines the variable in the second PHP file and access it as if it was defined in the second one.

If these scripts are executed as part of 2 different calls, then you need to give us more information about what / why you are trying to do.

Here's an example using a class...

1.php 

<?php
  class Config {
      public static $test = "hello world!";
      public static $arrayTest = array(
         'var1'=>'hello',
         'var2'=>'world',
     );
}

?>

2.php

<?php
  include('1.php');
  echo Config::$test;
  echo Config::$arrayTest['var1'];
?>

You could make a class, then include the class and reference the variables through that class.

Here is a common method I use, because you can write to it as well, making it dynamic and not hard coded values that require you to manually edit the file.

globalvalues.php

<?
return array (
    'value1' => 'Testing'
);

2.php

$globalValues = include('globalvalues.php');

echo $globalValues['value1'];

I have wrapper classes around this, but thats the basics of it.

You will have to store the state of the variables somewhere. If you don't want to use the session, you can write them to a file or database. Or, you can store them client-side using JavaScript. You can't read between two different requests without storing the information, though.

TRY this:
1.php

$a="this is my 1.php";

2.php

include("1.php");
echo $a;

OUTPUT:

this is my 1.php
