I have created my own little PHP framework for fun, however, I am having trouble passing variables from bootstrap to the views....

if I put an echo,print\_r,var\_dump my target variable in the bootstrap, the output is displayed in the browser before the tag... yet the target var in bootstrap.php is not available in the view, it is coming up as "" even though at the top of the page it is being output correctly....

Somethings I noticed from similar questions:

```
- The target variable is not being over written
- The include target path is correct and the file exists
- The file is only being included one time (include_once is only fired once)

```

Any ideas are greatly appreciated, I am pulling my hair out over here lol...
