How can I use static PHP variables in functions.php and use them for other coding in the WordPress template theme files

[Andrea]

Easiest way is global variables:

In your functions.php

global $welcome;
$welcome = "hey guys";

In your theme files

global $welcome;
    echo $welcome;

And yah, you have to put the global twice, which looks goofy, but it’s required.

But using global vars is not recommended, it’s bad practice
