Can't use global variable in PHP : <p>I'm trying to use a global variable, but it's saying that there's a unexpected equal sign? How is that...?</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php

global $text = "text";
echo $text;

?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/chatwith/public_html/chatwithibot/test.php on line 3</p>
