Include PHP file with variables in index.php , undefined in routed pages about simplephprouter

Hey,
this is not a router issue. This is a general PHP behavior.

You home.php file gets included inside of an anonymous function. You cannot access variables defined in the global scope from within a functions local scope. In this case you have two options:

1. Global your variable

Route::add('/', function() {
global $tag_line;
require DIR . '/src/views/home.php';
});

2. Inject the variable to the function using the "use" statement (I would prefer this)

Route::add('/', function() use($tag_line) {
require DIR . '/src/views/home.php';
});

Please read this to understand the mechanism of this: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
